Developed for the harsh Alpine winters of Northern Europe by Sommer Messtechnik, the world leader in snow measurement innovation, the SSG Snow Scale is a precision Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) measuring device developed for quick and easy installation and implementation in the field.
Realistic Representation of Actual Snow
The Snow Scale SSG uses specially designed aluminum plates for SWE (snow water equivalent) measurement which reduces the edging effect, significantly increasing measurement quality and accuracy, while a broad panel frame minimizes the effects of ice-bridging. The use of advanced, lightweight materials minimizes thermal resistance improving heat flow throughout the device for better emulation of natural conditions.
The innovative working principle of the SSG is based on the measuring principle of load cells. The sensor consists of 7 perforated panels comprising 1 Center Panel and 6 surrounding panels which allow water to percolate through the sensor.
Key Features:
Quick and Easy Installation
Robust Aluminum Construction
Connects to any existing Data Collection Platform
Maintenance Free
Delivers Snow Water Equivalent and Snow Density data
Making precise SWE (Snow Water Equivalent) measurements of snow pack just became a whole lot easier. I am proud to introduce such innovative equipment to our customers for whom accurate and timely measurement of snow pack is so critical.
