MARC recordThe use of acoustic ranging devices as snow depth sensors: an assessment / J.R. Metcalfe, R.A. Wilson, Barry E. Goodison.
| Title: | The use of acoustic ranging devices as snow depth sensors: an assessment / J.R. Metcalfe, R.A. Wilson, Barry E. Goodison. |
| Author(s): | Metcalfe, J. R. Wilson, R. A. Goodison, Barry E. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Eastern Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1988.), Vol. 44th [1987] Annual Meeting (1988) |
| Abstract: | In most cases, acoustic sensors provide accurate measurements of snow depth. Data should be collected hourly. Ultrasonic gauge, operating in conjunction with weighing-type precipitation gauge and transmitting hourly, can provide users with acceptable estimate of snow water equivalent as well as information on timing and type of precipitation. |
| Notes: | Eastern Snow Conference. Proceedings. Vol. 44th [1987] Annual Meeting :203-207 (1988). |
| Keywords: | 551.321.7 -- Snow cover, measurement of properties. E3 -- Glaciology: instruments and methods. |
