Operational Techniques for Determining SWE by Sound Propagation through Snow: II. Instrumentation and Testing

To show that the acoustic technique of determining SWE can contribute to operational SWE surveys, portable, field-usable devices were constructed with the capability of reliable on-line signal processing and calculation of SWE in the field. The portable field devices were tested at forest and tundra...

Description
Summary:To show that the acoustic technique of determining SWE can contribute to operational SWE surveys, portable, field-usable devices were constructed with the capability of reliable on-line signal processing and calculation of SWE in the field. The portable field devices were tested at forest and tundra sites near Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, and at forest and meadow sites in the
