SNOW MELT ANALYZER SMA-2

ANALYSING THE SNOWMELT AND ASCERTAINING THE WATER RUN-OFF

The Snow Melt Analyser (SMA-2) constitutes the ideal measuring solution for the analysis of snowmelt. With its help, melting processes in the snow can be detected and the water run-off can be ascertained and used for flood forecasts or for water management.

Description

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

Forecasting of the water run-off during snowmelt
Recording of the snow parameters snow water equivalent (SWE), snow density, liquid water content, and ice content
Early recognition of an increase in the liquid water content in the snowpack
Simple installation and configuration, no calibration necessary
With low energy consumption, the solar-powered operation is possible
