Campbell Scientific (Canada) Corporation
Canada |
The
SR50A is Campbell
Scientific's new generation acoustic distance sensor that measures the elapsed
time between emission and return of an ultrasonic pulse. This measurement can be
used to determine snow or water depth. An air temperature measurement is
required to correct for variations of the speed of sound in air. The GMON3 measures and reports the snow water equivalent (SWE) by measuring the absorption of natural ground gamma radiation through the snow cover. These natural ground gamma emissions are dependant on the mass of water between the source (the ground) and the radiation detector. The measurement area of the GMON is 50-100 square meters and is an excellent replacement sensor for the traditional snow pillow. The sensor is powered using 12VDC and can be easily interfaced to a datalogger with wireless communications allowing real-time transmission of SWE values from remote sites. |

CAMPBELL
SCIENTIFIC LTD.
|
Campbell Scientific manufacture and
sell the SR50A
acoustic snow depth sensor. Developed in Canada and superseding the popular SR50
model this device allows the determination of snow depth (or water depth) by
measuring the time of flight of a sonic pulse It is compatible with all current and most retired Campbell data loggers and offers either RS-232, RS-485 and SDI-12 output options. http://www.campbellsci.co.uk/index.cfm?id=77 |

Degreane Horizon
France |
The Degreane Horizon
SOLIA300 sensor is designed for determining the state of the ground and
the snow depth. The sensor determines the following states of the ground
: Dry, humid, wet, partial snow cover, snow cover, ground frost or icy. It can identify these different precipitations : drizzle, freezing drizzle, rain, freezing rain and snow. In addition it can measure snow height ranging from 0 to 65 cms. More than 80 sensors are installed in MeteoFrance network. Read more about Degreane snow measurement sensors |

Earth Networks previously WeatherBug Professional United States of America |
Earth Networks
StreamerRT
is an easy-to-use, Internet-based application with a highly customizable
interface. The
StreamerRT differentiator is live, hyper-local weather
information.
StreamerRT is powered by the
Earth
Networks Weather Network of over 8,000 weather stations worldwide,
integrated with public weather source information. The system provides access to
weather information on 27 different variables, precipitation monitoring
including type location and forecast, and weather alerts. Users are able to layer relevant data types and set custom views to ensure quick access to information for weather-related decisions. Weather information is presented in crisp, easy-to-read maps with precise imagery and details. |

JENOPTIK DEFENSE & CIVIL SYSTEMS (ESW GMBH - SENSOR SYSTEMs Germany |
Optical snow
depth measurement by Jenoptik: Compact, reliable and cost-efficient. SHM 30 Snow depth sensors reliably determine snow depths up to 15 meter within seconds and with millimeter precision. Based on an opto-electronic distance sensor emitting visible eye-safe laser light, the sensors allow probing distances up to 50 ft to detect the surface level. Unlike snow depth sensors using ultrasonic methods, the laser distance measuring technique is independent of temperature changes. Signal strength analysis allows discrimination between snow and other surfaces, signal filtering suppresses interfering precipitation events. |
| LOGOTRONIC
GmbH Austria |
Logotronic supplies a big variety of measuring stations. Small ones, stationary or mobile up to synoptic weather stations. The stations are highly scalable to the user requirements due to the modular system architecture. One measuring station for meteorology, hydrology, water quality and soil investigation. Nearly all common sensors can be connected via measuring interface modules. All stations can use telemetry modules for telephone, GSM, radio or Internet data transfer. |
| MICROSTEP - MIS
spol. s.r.o. Slovakia |
MicroStep-MIS SD-8 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is designed for distance measurement. Its primary application in meteorology is Snow Height Measurement. The microprocessor controlled probe measures distance from the solid obstacle and provides either the measured distance, or the difference of the pre-set constant and the measured distance as an output (for example in case of snow or water height measurement). On demand, sensor can be equipped with additional heating for icing elimination. |
