Ultrasonic Snow Depth Sensor Introduction

Ultrasonic Snow Depth Sensor Introduction:

An ultrasonic snow depth sensor is a device used to measure snow depth. It determines the difference in distance between the snow surface and the ground by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and receiving their reflected signals to calculate the snow depth.

Ultrasonic snow depth sensor working principle:

Ultrasonic snow depth sensors use the propagation speed and return time of ultrasonic waves to measure snow depth. The sensor emits ultrasonic pulses and monitors the time delay of the received reflected signal. Based on the propagation speed of the sound wave in the air, the difference in distance between the snow surface and the sensor can be calculated to get the snow depth.

  NBL-W-SNOW type snow sensor is an intelligent snow depth sensor which adopts ultrasonic telemetry technology to realise automated and continuous monitoring of snow depth; the snow depth is calculated by transmitting 50KHz ultrasonic waves to measure the time difference between transmitting and returning this signal process. This product can be widely used in meteorology, airports, ports, laboratories, agriculture and transport and other fields of measurement.

Ultrasonic snow depth sensor installation requirements:

The sensor should be installed on a fixed structure perpendicular to the ground so that it is facing the snow surface of the area to be measured. Obstructions between the sensor and other objects should be avoided to ensure that the measurement is of true snow depth. The sensor should be located as far away as possible from sources of vibration and strong winds that may cause interference.
