SMA-2 Snow Melt Analyzer

The Snow Melt Analyser (SMA) 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.

The Snow Melt Analyser (SMA) 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.

Features & 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 snow pack
  • Simple installation and configuration, no calibration necessary
  • Low energy consumption, solar-powered operation is possible
