TY - Generic T1 - The snow research program at the Fraser Experimental Forest, Colorado T2 - 24th Annual Western Snow Conference Y1 - 1956 A1 - Goodell, B.C. KW - Research problems, Snow cover distribution AB - The results of past studies on the relation between snow and forests are reviewed and tabulated, and problems of future research are discussed. The forest is located about 6000 feet elevation and has an average annual precipitation of 30-40 inches, 60-80% of which is in the form of snow (which accounts for 80-90% of the annual streamflow). The first studies conducted were concerned with the relation between snow accumulation and the size of openings in various types of forests, and the effects of deforestation with snow evaporation; the question whether evaporation from intercepted snow is actually sufficiently faster than from the pack surface to account for the apparent gain in snow when trees are cut; the blowing of snow from tree crowns, and its possible sublimation during transit. Other projects will include: convection and condensation during snowmelt, the effects of tree trunks and small trees on snowmelt, the hydrologic effect of any forest management practice, and the water yield from alpine snowfields.

KW - Runoff, Snowmelt, Soil moisture measurement AB - Extensive measurements of fall deficits in soil moisture were conducted in the Fraser Experimental forest. Soil samples were taken in an area of virgin lodgepole pine in late September, and again in the spring to determine the field-capacity of the soil. The difference between the average field-moisture capacity and the average fall-moisture content was the soil-moisture deficit. Soil moisture deficit averaged about 16% of the gross snow cover. Studies in Spruce and Fir forest cover showed about 14% deficits. Studies in a young lodgepole stand showed a deficit of 75% over a 2 year period.Discussion by H.L. Potts.

A1 - Roberts, K.L. KW - Snow samplers comparison tests AB - A Mount Rose type sampler with a cutter of inside diameter 1.485 inches was compared in field tests with a sampler having a cutter with inside diameter of 2.787 inches. The results of 32 samples with each set gave a coefficient of variation of 7.82% for the Mt. Rose sampler and 9.24% for the larger sampler. Additional 15 measurements using the gram scales gave lower values but similar variations. The Mt. Rose type of snow sampler proved more practical and as accurate as the larger sampler, under the conditions of the tests. Comparative data are exhibited in tables.
