A snow gauge, also known as a snow measurement gauge or snow depth gauge, is an instrument used to measure the depth of snow accumulation on the ground. It is an essential tool in meteorology and hydrology for understanding snowpack conditions, which can affect water resources, weather forecasting, and climate studies. There are various designs of snow gauges, but they typically consist of a cylindrical container or tube that captures falling snow.
