Period

Canada

Parks Canada operates a snow study plot in Rogers Pass National Historic Site of Canada in Glacier National Park, B.C. Combined with meteorological data, the daily information gathered, recorded and monitored from studying the snowpack was used to produce daily avalanche forecasts and bulletins. Set in the context of “Snow Research” for “Avalanche Control”.

Function

Protective case for the thermometer.

Technical

Foldable precision made of flexible heavy-duty fiberglass with embedded, easy-to-read boldface figures and graduations with red 16" stud marks and positive locking joints. Selected because it takes little room in a snow study kit. No. 1602 is graduated on one side in millimetres with red markings every 10 cm. Reverse side reads in inches.
