Since snow contributes a major amount to the available water, area Values of snow cover are required for estimation of the water resources. It has been established that a combination of remote sensing and ground measurements should be used for snow cover mapping. The Important parameters for hydrological purposes are snow depth, density and snow water equivalent. The reported snow gauge comprises a tipping bucket type SWE sensor with 20 Watt heating arrangement, a data logger, supporting electronics and a backed battery pack. With this arrangement, precipitation is calculated from the volume measurements of the accumulated water. The ‘Virtual’ make Snow Water Equivalent Recorder offers professional snow monitoring and good value for money. The standard instrument consists of a weatherproof enclosure, which contains the data logger and power supply, and comes complete with a Mounting stand and SWE sensor. Measurements can automatically store in systems memory as per user selectable logging period. Comes with integral mains charger (230 VAC, 50 Hz), which will easily keep the batteries charged throughout the year.
