Barrow site time series data from the eSWE Sensor. The electronic snow-water equivalent (SWE) sensor a modular sensor that consists of nine 3-ft x 3-ft aluminum panels. All panels are identically constructed. The modularity allows SWE to be measured in the center of the sensor surrounded by inert panels that buffer any sensor stress concentrations that may arise at the edge of the sensor. Construction of the sensor is also simplified since all panels are identical, only the use of a load cell or dummy spacer are used to support the aluminum plate.Three load cells are currently installed on the SWE sensor. Two load cells are placed under the center panel and the third is under the middle outer panel. The load cell type is a hermetically sealed load cell calibrated in compression. The model HSW-2K is manufactured by Transducer Techniques.
