Short summary
Watersheds on the downwind side of a mountain range have deeper seasonal snow and more abundant glaciers due to topographic controls that favor wind drifting. Despite receiving less total snow, these drift-prone watersheds produce relatively more late-summer streamflow due to a combination of slow-melting snow drifts and mass loss from glaciers (and other perennial snow/ice features).
