They are cheap and relatively accurate. This could be used to investigate snow surface and (if you dig down a little) sub-surface temperatures under all sorts of conditions. I am planning to use one to compare how quickly different types of surfaces (including snow) cool on a clear night.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814313368731066590noreply@blogger.com
