- Description:
- The measurement of water stored in snow packs is important to determine the efficient utilization of this water. Various methods have been used for this measurement but have not provided accuracies sufficient for precision analyses. Nuclear radiation is shown to be a useful tool for nondestructive water equivalent measurement. The scintillation detector was selected as a desired instrument, and the selection criteria, design features, and performance are presented. Although a unit of relatively high cost, this detector is shown to be capable of arbitrarily high resolution.
