Preliminary Guidelines and Standard Operating Procedure for Drainage and Erosion Control at McMurdo Station
During the austral summer, the snowmelt runoff at McMurdo Station is quite unique and variable. As the temperature gradually warms up, McMurdo staff clears winter snow and ice accumulation in the drainage channels to accommodate the incoming snowmelt runoff. This ephemeral flow is observed as diurna...

In addition, the runoff mobilizes sediment that is washed into these channels and transports contaminants into to Winter Quarters Bay and McMurdo Sound.
