Short summary
The annual variability of runoff has not been analysed in the maritime Antarctic. Thus, we simulated and analysed rain, snow and glacier contributions to runoff related to climate variability in a small catchment over 11 years. The majority of the runoff came from snowmelt. Inter-annual variability in total runoff was associated with large variability in glacier runoff. Between October and May, 92 % of the runoff occurred, with significant runoff events outside the usual measurement season.
