Introducing – Fluidless Snow Pillow

Mon, 18 Jun 2018 18:35:00 GMT

Snow Water Equivalent Monitoring

Alpine Hydromet has worked closely with the snow hydrology community to develop a fluid-less snow pillow that better suit the needs of their monitoring environment. The FSP was designed to be easy to pack, install, and maintain. The fluidless and modular design simplifies the transportation and installation process. Electronics for SWE calculation are not installed under the snow.

Introducing – Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) Measurement

Mon, 18 Jun 2018 18:31:00 GMT

The CRD measures naturally occurring incoming cosmic radiation. The cosmic rays are attenuated by the water content in the snow-pack which correlates to Snow Water Equivalent (SWE). The CRD allows SWE to be measured regardless of changing snow dynamics and formation ice layers.

A ground detector is installed flush with the soil and a reference detector is installed above the maximum snow height. The reference detector will correct for any moisture that is attenuated through the atmosphere as well as allows for change over space in the natural variation of incoming cosmic radiation.

The CRD is compatible with Campbell Scientific data loggers and operates of 12 V DC and solar panel power supply without the need for heating or fluid components. The most advantageous aspect of the CRD is its ability to read through complex snow layers from shallow to deep snow conditions.

Introducing – T-200BHC High Capacity (3000mm) Precipitation Gauge

Mon, 18 Jun 2018 13:35:00 GMT

After requests for larger capacity, than the current 1500-mm (60-in) precipitation gauges, Geonor, Inc. developed the T-200BHC or T-200B High Capacity precipitation gauge. The T-200BHC has

T-200BHC

After requests for larger capacity, than the current 1500-mm (60-in) precipitation gauges, Geonor, Inc. developed the T-200BHC or T-200B High Capacity precipitation gauge. The T-200BHC has the ability to collect 3000 mm (120 in) of liquid precipitation before servicing is required. Developed for use at remote sites with high annual precipitation this ability reduces the time and cost of servicing remote stations by reducing the necessary visits to remote locations.

There are units currently deployed and being tested by the USGS (Truckee, CA) and Idaho Power.

T-200B Precipitation Gauge Installation Guide

Overview:

James Byrlawski, of Geonor, Inc. gives a technical walk through of the components and detailed installation instructions for the Geonor T-200B Precipitation – Rain Gauge.

Product Details:

The T-200 precipitation – rain gauge was developed more than 25 years ago for all weather precipitation – rain monitoring. It was designed in cooperation with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute. Precipitation can be reported in real-time at any interval to calculate the intensity. The precipitation – rain gauge was is simple to configure for use with automatic data acquisition systems with the option of a 0-5 V or SDI-12 output. The original T-200B has a 600 mm (24 in) capacity and incorporated one vibrating wire sensor. Geonor now offers 1000 mm (40 in) & 1500 mm (60 in) capacity precipitation – rain gauge(s) and the ability to incorporate three sensors as an option. The gauge has a protective housing with a WMO standard 200 cm2 inlet. The amount of precipitation is measured by using vibrating wire load sensors. The instrument as well as a wind shield is mounted to the pedestal. With the use of antifreeze any solid precipitation is melted in the container. No electrical heating is therefore required, thus eliminating a common source of error. A thin layer of oil is added to impede any evaporation.
