Ionic and isotopic analyses of snow samples collected at four sites on the Norwegian glacier Austre Okstindbreen during two field seasons in 1991 showed that, before melting started, the snowpack was vertically inhomogeneous. Patterns of variation with depth of both ions and oxygen isotopes were mai...
