1. SNOWPIT - Location and Environmental Datasheet
  2. THICKNESS/TEMPERATURE - Depth and Temperature Datasheet
  3. HARDNESS - Naked Finger and Knife Test Datasheets
  4. GRAIN SIZE AND SHAPE - Depth/Size/Shape Datasheet
  5. DETERMINE DENSITY - Water Content Datasheet
  6. SNOWPIT DATASHEET - An example of how the snowpit data can be presented
This sample study datasheet indicates one method of presenting most of the snowpit data. Once data is acquired a datasheet allows you to view the bigger picture and to draw conclusions from your research. The example shown was obtained from http://www.colorado.edu/epob/epob4631estone/EPOB4630/textfolder/stuudyingsnow.html. Note that the grain shapes in the example are - New Snow, rounds and facets which is a simpler designation than those in Protocol 4.
