The ram profile is a record of a hardness index through a vertical section of the snowpack. The ram hardness (R) is measured by driving a ram penetrometer (ram or ramsonde) vertically into the snowpack. The ram is a tube or rod with a centimeter scale for depth and a standard cone-shaped tip. The operator drops a hammer (H) a certain distance (f) and records the penetration depth (p) of the ram into the snow. 6, record 1, English, - ram%20profile
