Abstract | A method for multipoint snowpack temperature measurement using the Bridger Data System has been developed and tested. Data taken from a closely spaced array of thermistor thermometers has been used to delineate the snow surface and the diurnal heat wave through the snowpack.The thermometry technique is also used in determination of the accumulation rate of new snow and in measurement of total pack settlement. Computer analysis and plotting of the data permits easy interpretation of a variety of physical and hydrological parameters. Data from the mid-winter snowpack and the spring isothermal pack has been analyzed by the above technique. |
