TUNNEL VENTILATION AND HEAT-LOAD SURVEY BYRD STATION, ANTARCTICA, 1965.
A ventilation and heat-load survey was conducted in the undersnow tunnels at Byrd Station, Antarctica, in late December 1965. This work was performed to obtain current information on tunnel cooling requirements and to obtain data for tunnel cooling system design. The survey showed that average tunne...
