It is notable that LVi and VV stations show very similar temperature trends in 2018, providing more confidence in the LVi numbers. Results During a long calm period on 14 July 2018 at 01h00 local time (13 July at 12h00 GMT), the LVi 3 m temperature sensor measured a record low temperature for the entire McMurdo Dry Valley meteorological dataset of -69.1°C (Fig. [Extracted from the article]
