The McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) are a polar desert, where glacial melt is the main source of water to streams and the ecosystem. Summer air temperatures are typically close to zero and therefore foehn events can have a large impact on the meltwater production. A 14-month record of automatic weather st...
