SAMPLING AND QUANTITY OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENT LOAD Samples of suspended sediment load have been taken in Skeiðará occasionally since 1956 as well as in the jökulhlaups of 1938, 1954, 1960, 1965, 1972 and 1976. From 1963 the grain size distribution of the suspended load has been measured; up to that time only the total quantity of each sample was observed. The samples can be divided into 3 classes (F, S1 and S3) according to the mode of sampling, see explanatory notes on Table 1. The S1 samples expectedly yield the most accurate measure of the load carried by the river, while F-samples are the least reliable of the three types. Up to the end of 1965 only F-samples were taken. During 1966 to 1973 very few samples were collected except in the jökulhlaup of 1972; all samples were then of the S3 type. Since the building of the bridge across Skeið- ará in 1974 it has been possible to sample in several vertical sections (Sl-samples) from the bridge as well as from the riverbanks (S3- and F-samples) enabling us to compare the dif- ferent sampling methods. Samples were taken in the 1976 jökulhlaup both from the bridge and from land at the bridge site as well as the outlet (at glacier) and at 10 km distance downstream of the bridge. All the S3-samples were collected at the west bank. Furthermore, F-samples were taken at the eastern bank at Skaftafell for comparison TABLE 1 Quantity of suspended sediment in Skeiðará jökulhlaups.

Explanation of sample types: F-samples are collected near the river banks into bottles without a sampler. S3-samples are collected near the river banks into bottles in a depth- integrating sampler. Sl-samples are collected in several verticals from the bridge into bottles in a depth-integrating sampler. Skýrmgar á tegundum sýna: F-sýni eru tekin við bakka í venjulegar flöskur.
