Report on the Sixth and Seventh Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1962-63: VUWAE 6 & 7

Work yet to be done

Work yet to be done.

In order to complete the investigation the following work must be done
(1)Complete the pattern of temperature profiles.
(2)Take a series of radiation profiles under different conditions of time and cloud.
(3)Collect and analyse water samples from melt streams at the western end of the lake, and from the western half of the lake.
(4)Get an estimate of the total incident solar radiation on the lake during the summer.

It would also be desirable to devote some time to a study of the ice cover and the mechanism of evaporation from it, get an estimate of the annual water inflow and salt accretion, take bottom samples, etc.

The total work remaining would probably occupy 3 men for a week from the time a routine was established - say 10 days in all.
