Alpine Hydromet
CRD Cosmic Ray Detector
The CRD measures the total water content of the snow regardless of changing snow dynamics or formation ice layers, providing a considerable advantage over the legacy snow pillows. The CRD passively measures specific naturally occurring incoming cosmic rays that give a direct measurement of the total water regardless of phase.
FSP5 Fluidless Snow Pillow
The FSP employs the same weighing-based principle to monitor snow water equivalent but improves the durability of the sensor by incorporating load cells to make a fluidless design. The FSP was designed to be easy to pack in, install, and maintain. The fluidless and modular design simplifies the transportation and installation process.
HRIT GOES Communication
High-Rate Information Transmission (HRIT) offers a complete solution for GOES Data Collection System (DCS) data retrieval and dissemination. HRIT works by receiving data directly from GOES Satellite, providing dedicated high-reliability bandwidth without the use of the internet and no reoccurring fees.
