Snow Fork01.jpgSnow Fork03.jpg



ØLightweight, easy to carry, quick analysis in the field

ØCan be used in polar environments or rainy environments. Even at -40 degrees Celsius, it can be used

ØThe probe is a steel, fork shaped microwave resonator. Measurable electrical parameters: resonance frequency, attenuation, and 3 dB bandwidth. These measurements can be used to accurately calculate the dielectric constant. Additionally, snow density and liquid water capacity can be calculated using semi empirical equations

ØAfter measurement, all data will be quickly displayed on the screen and stored in the instrument's memory. And these data are easy to import into the computer for analysis and processing

Ø Reliability of data measurement: in-situ, no compression required, easy to measure duplicate values; Measurement values can be calibrated in the atmosphere

ØSnow density(g/ccm)The liquid water content is two aspects that reflect the characteristics of snow. The ground height is0cm.Measure depth approximately2cmAnd it can be tested repeatedly3Next time. Meanwhile, a depth of5cmThe control experiment














application area




Snow Fork02.jpg


Used for measuring snow density and characteristics, it can be used for hydrological and water resource research, especially for studying snow in areas with high mountain snow cover, predicting changes in hydrological water levels, and predicting floods caused by snow water.

Combined with remote sensing data, conducting empirical research on the ground can help understand the distribution of snow on the ground.
