Precisely and accurately measuring isotope end members is advantageous to hydrologists. In a vegetated landscape, throughfall is more appropriate to use than gross precipitation because interception alters the isotopic composition of precipitation (Kendall and McDonnell., 1993) and results in a throughfall input to soil with spatially varying isotopic composition (Allen et al., 2013).

Fall 2009 were Amount and isotopic composition of throughfall and gross precipitation measured in a Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon, USA. Throughfall was collected for 11 events at 13 collectors with 9.5 cm diameter funnels. A Monte-Carlo process using field data simulated the statistical properties in estimating mean throughfall amount and 18O associated with various sampling schemes. Sampling schemes used varying number of collectors for determining event and cumulative means (with fixed versus roving collectors; Ritter and Regalado, 2014). We quantified the variability of virtually sampled throughfall deviation from the true mean. Fall 2009 Spring 2010
