Some Results of the Snow Survey of Canada

This report presents some preliminary results from the survey of the physical characteristics of the snowcover which has been carried on in Canada since 1947, Comparisons of the snow hardness and of the density data are made between selected stations. The snow density distribution plots exhibited amarked similarity especially for exposed stations. Other similarities were noted in the data.Ce rapport pr\ue9sente certains r\ue9sultats pr\ue9liminaires de l?enqu\ueate sur les caract\ue9ristiques physiques de l?enneigement, qui a \ue9t\ue9 men\ue9e au Canada depuis 1947. Des comparaisons entre des stations s\ue9lectionn\ue9es sont \ue9tablies quant aux donn\ue9es li\ue9es \ue0 la duret\ue9 et \ue0 la densit\ue9 de la neige. Les sch\ue9mas de r\ue9partition de la densit\ue9 de la neige ont jusqu?ici pr\ue9sent\ue9 une forte similarit\ue9, plus particuli\ue8rement dans le cas des stations les plus expos\ue9es. D?autres points communs ont \ue9t\ue9 not\ue9s dans ces donn\ue9es.Peer reviewed: NoNRC publication: Ye
