Measuring winter precipitation and snow on the ground in northern polar regions

Measuring winter precipitation in cold and windy regions is recognized as a difficult task. Nonetheless, the accurate measurement of solid precipitation provides important input data for predicting snowmelt floods and avalanche danger and for monitoring climate change. The difficulties in measuring solid precipitation are associated with environmental factors and technological issues. ...

Real-time Snowpack Temperature Profiling at Alaska’s Turnagain Pass - Case Study

CNFAIC recognized a need in their instrumentation network to monitor temperature and snow depths along Tincan Ridge as they were seeing high instances of avalanches in this popular backcountry area. ...

EON2 CS2 The Last Goes and GPS Antenna You`ll Ever Need

The EON2 Antenna requires no assembly, and no aiming in most locations. Rugged by design, it is completely sealed for marine environments and dome-shaped for superior ice/snow shedding. Furthermore, it’s smaller, lighter and more durable than ...

Micro Rain Radar

The Micro-Rain-Radar MRR at 24 GHz is an unique meteorological radar profiler for Doppler spectra of hydrometeors in height ranges 15 m … 6000 m. The high resolution in time and height enables the MRR to monitor the genesis of frozen hydrometeors, the melting zone (bright band) and the formation of rain drops. With the derived rain rate the MRR offers a calibration of weather radar. The ...
