Description
Systematic collection of snowpack samples across elevation gradients using snow pits dug at 10 cm increments to obtain SWE-weighted composite isotopic signatures representative of accumulated snowpack.
Typical Equipment
- shovels for digging snow pits
- sampling containers
- thermometer
- density measurement tools
Output Measurements
- snow density
- snow temperature
- δ¹⁸O
- δ²H
- SWE
