Spice
Spice
The Spice Autonomous and Connected Snow Depth Measurement Station is designed for efficient snow monitoring. It measures snow depth, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. The station is easy to set up and features wireless communication via LoRaWAN, ensuring over 5 years of autonomy with a 3.6V Lithium battery. Data is stored locally on an SD card and can be accessed online.
Specifications
- Snow Depth: Range from 50 cm to 5 m, with an accuracy of ± 10 mm and a resolution of 1 mm.
- Temperature: Range from -40 to +65 °C, with an accuracy of ± 0.8 °C and a resolution of 0.1 °C. The device includes a temperature-compensated acoustic snow gauge.
Success Story
As reported in "360 R&D n°26" in January 2020, Electricité de France (EDF), the world's largest electricity producer, uses A2 Photonic Sensors' Spice for monitoring snow cover in their hydroelectric basins. This data enhances understanding of snow variability, optimizing and ensuring safer hydroelectric operations.
