Snow sampling results from three samplers

Abstract

In an effort to make snow sampling an easier task in deep snowpack, two sets of experimental snow tubes were tested. Design of these tubes differed from the Standard Federal Snow Tubes. Results indicated greater variation between the standard snow tubes and the experimental tubes than expected due to sampling variation. Reasons for this variation and recommendation for use of these experimental tubes are given by the authors. © 1963 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
