On meltwater of snow patches in East Ongul Island, Antarctica
Measurement of meltwater from snow patches was made in a small drainage basin near Syowa Station, East Ongul Island, Antarctica, during the period from December 12, 1975 to February 15, 1976, in order to obtain basic data for wastage of ice masses. 4.8×10^3 tons of snow disappeared from the basin du...
