The scatter of annual snow accumulation in 1981 at a given place was studied within ten meters in horizontal scale at ten 36-stake farms on the Mizuho Plateau. The coefficient of variation S/M, where M is the average of thirty-six values of annual accumulation and S is the standard deviation, was small (less than 1.0) on the ice sheet with a few exceptions. The S/M value did not depend on snow surface roughness.
