Real-time Snowpack Temperature Profiling at Alaska’s Turnagain Pass - Case Study
CNFAIC recognized a need in their instrumentation network to monitor temperature and snow depths along Tincan Ridge as they were seeing high instances of avalanches in this popular backcountry area. The installed beadedstream solution provided them with real-time data of these parameters throughout the snow season, allowing for forecasters to better predict avalanche conditions and issue warnings ...

A Guide to Thermistor Strings
What are thermistor strings? A thermistor, coined from “thermal” and “resistor”, is a sensor that changes resistance based upon temperature. It is used to measure temperatures within a specified range by using calibration tables to convert from resistance to temperature. Thermistor strings are cables with integrated thermistors, usually pressed into a bead-like node ...

Measuring winter precipitation and snow on the ground in northern polar regions
Measuring winter precipitation in cold and windy regions is recognized as a difficult task. Nonetheless, the accurate measurement of solid precipitation provides important input data for predicting snowmelt floods and avalanche danger and for monitoring climate change. The difficulties in measuring solid precipitation are associated with environmental factors and technological issues. ...
