UTILISATION OF THE SM4 AUTOMATIC SNOWPACK SENSOR IN AVALANCHE FORECASTING
ABSTRACT: A small innovation company in Iceland, POLS Engineering, has developed the SM4 automatic snowpack sensor that is currently installed at over 30 locations in Iceland and Norway as a tool for avalanche forecasting. POLS and the Icelandic Meteorological Office are collaborating in the develop...
