QUANTIFICATION OF LATERAL VARIABILITY

Contour maps of snow grid surface showing kriged estimate of Delta18O values in permil (A) and the one sigma uncertainty associated with the estimate in permil (B). Contour interval is 0.6 permil for Map A and + 0.01 permil for Map B. The dashed area within each map represents the boundary of the original 8,100 m2 snow grid. The data were block kriged by using 25 square blocks of equal area. A maximum of 30 samples was used to estimate each block. One hundred samples were collected within the grid area in August 1991.
