    "description": "This metadata records represents aerial surveying of land temperature variability and microclimate, with an infrared and visible camera system. In December and January 2023, airborne surveys were undertaken in the Taylor Valley in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, plus one scan along the coastline to Terra Nova Bay. Pre-defined flight tracks covered three different areas, chosen for their different surfaces and moisture content. The flights were timed to coincide with MODIS and Landsat satellite overpasses\n\nThe data was used to: (1) validate a newly developed geostatistical downscaling model for land surface temperature in the unique environment of the McMurdo Dry Valleys; (2) investigate bias in satellite derived land and ice surface temperature related to subpixel variations in surface types; (3) validate WRF-Hydro\/Glacier model performance in simulating spatially distributed conditions for melt and the routing of meltwater; (4) lay some of the groundwork for establishing a network of ecological \u201Csentinel sites\u201D, where the greatest environmental change is expected.\n\nData is in HCC format for the infrared and JPG for RGB imagery. \n\nGET DATA:  eva.nielsen@pg.canterbury.ac.nz or marwan.katurji@canterbury.ac.nz",
