Product catalog summary
Overview
The WISe Snow Liquid Water Content Sensor is a compact and lightweight device designed for field measurements, providing accurate and reliable outputs. It is developed in collaboration with Météo-France and supported by LabEX OSUG@2020.

Applications
  • Snowmelt onset detection
  • Snow avalanche forecasting
  • Snow making quality assessment
  • Radiative transfer calculations
  • Remote sensing validation

Technical Specifications
  • Measurement range: 0-20 vol. %
  • Measurement uncertainty: 1 vol. %
  • Acquisition time: less than 1 second
  • Battery life: 12 days with a 1200 mAh battery
  • Weight: approximately 1 kg
  • Sampler size: 26 x Ø 8 cm
  • Processing unit size: 25 x 13 x 6 cm

Working Principle
The sensor operates using a sampler that acts as a capacitor with a metal cylinder and a central rod as electrodes. An internal resonator measures the resonant frequency, which is converted into permittivity. This permittivity, combined with separately measured snow density, calculates the liquid water content. The method is validated against calorimetry.

Design and Durability
The device features a robust stainless steel sampler and an IP65-rated processing unit, ensuring durability in field conditions.
