SnowVue 10 Digital Snow-Depth Sensor Campbell Scientific

 

 

Campbell Scientific offers two types of sensors for snowpack applications: snow water equivalent (SWE) sensors and snow depth sensors. SWE sensors measure the amount of water contained within a snowpack. Snow depth sensors measure the depth of the snowpack.

Overview

The SnowVue™10 is a digital, ultrasonic snow-depth sensor that provides continuous and accurate snow-depth measurements with its advanced spectrum analysis and best-in-class, wide-band transducer. With its low-power requirement and low-maintenance design, the SnowVue 10 is suitable for most alpine and remote installations. The SnowVue 10 also features Campbell Scientific’s total uptime diagnostic package to provide you with critical sensor performance measurements such as internal humidity, temperature, sensor level (tilt), measurement quality, and incoming voltage. An external air temperature sensor is required to correct for the changes in sound velocity due to changes in temperature.
