Flow-Control Systems Proof of Concept for Snowmelt Runoff at McMurdo Station, Antarctica

The snowmelt runoff during the austral summer at McMurdo Station is diurnally and seasonally variable. The variability is caused by a dynamic process in which the flow fluctuates daily and seasonally in response to solar and temperature input, melting the snow and glacier ice in the watershed. The c...
