The SPA-2 system records automatically and continuously all important parameters of the snow pack and allows, for example, for predictions about the snow melting progress.
Measuring certain snow parameters can be a challenging task. In addition, snow has a considerable variability in space and time. Several different variables have to be measured to provide reliable information.
The new snow scales SSG-2 is a measuring device, which measures the snow water equivalent (SWE) of the snow pack with a high level of precision and reliability. The installation is quick and easy. The fact that there is no anti-freeze needed makes the system environmentally friendly.
The SAD sensor is an ultra-robust instrument
measuring solid particle fl ux intensities and wind
speeds.
It is a very low-power, maintenance-free and total
ly sealed acoustic instrument with no mobile parts.
The SCA-sensor measures the temperature in the different layers of the snow pack as well as at the bottom. With this, a very exact temperature profile for the specific snow pack is generated.
The LSH-S is based on laser distance measurement
technology. It sends out several consecutive impulses and
detects the signal reflected at the snow surface. From the
distance measurement, the LSH-S directly calculates the
snow-height.
The USH-9 is an ultrasonic sensor for the precise, continuous and non-contact recording of snow depths. The robust design, a special ultrasonic head as well as an extremely low energy consumption makes the USH-9 a very suitable system for extreme weather conditions and so for alpine and high alpine terrain.
The SND sensor is an ultra-robust instrument for measuring solid particle flux intensities and wind speeds. It is a low-power, maintenance-free and totally sealed acoustic instrument with no moving parts.
The compact infrared sensor SIR provides for the exact and non-contact measurement of the temperature of the snow surface.
