Alpine Hydromet

Part 2 of our SBIR Grant study is an underwater pool study to simulate the maximum snow water equivalent. We've submerged the Cosmic Ray Detectors 10 feet underwater to capture 120" (about 3000 mm) of water content. #snowhydrology #waterresources #sbir

Happy Water Year! From all of us at Alpine Hydromet, we wish you a safe, successful and powder-filled water year! Yesterday we measured 7" of snow at Meadow Lake in the Sierra Nevada. Dont worry, snow surveys don't begin until Jan 1. . .... . #hydrology #snow #sierranevada #watershed #swe #fieldscience #environmentalscience #alpine #snowhydrology #tahoe See more

We are proud to publish our latest product on our website! The Cosmic Ray Detector (CRD) eliminates issues with current snow water equivalent monitoring by measuring through liquid water and ice without the need for harmful fluids or heat! No matter how complex your snowpack, this sensor will provide reliable data all winter long.

Winter 2017-18 install at the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Laboratory. This winter we included our second SWE sensor located at the base and in the top of the tower on the left-hand side. The Cosmic Ray Detector (CRD) has the ability to measure water content through complex ice or snow layers in the deepest and most difficult snowpacks. . . . #snowhydrology #sierranevada #snowwaterequivalent #SWE #snowresearch #snowscience

Snow & Tell part two from our Natural Resource Conservation Service. Snow water content is the amount of water contained in the snow. Every winter the mountians of the western US are blanketed with a frozen reservoir. As the snow melts it accounts for large portion of our water supply. . . .... . #nrcs #snotel #snowwatercontent #snowwaterequivalent #snow #snowhydrology See more

Snow & Tell brought to you by our Natural Resource Conservation Service. Did you know that 50-80% of water in the west is supplied by our snow?

"As data collection budgets are declining, information demands are increasing and the need for accurate SWE estimates is ever more crucial." Feels like this paper was written for today.
