The textures of three ground surfaces were examined in terms of the common surface texture parameters. The r.m.s. values, calculated from the data-logged Y-ordinate heights of the profile recordings, were used to predict the values of the various parameters. The influence of sample size on the numerical values of these parameters is discussed.
