| snow pillow urządzenie / ogniwo obciążnikowe do pomiaru ciężaru śniegu Explanation: "- Use of a load cell (snow pillow). A big load cell (e.g. 3 x 3 m) is placed on a certain geographic area whereon the falling snow settles, which load cell allows calculating the total weight of the snow incident on its area." https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2012164493A1 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-06-21 12:21:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ewentualnie urządzenie / ogniwo obciążnikowe/ przetwornik / sprzęt do pomiaru opadów śniegu |

Snow pillows typically have flat stainless steel surface areas. The pillow below this flat surface is filled with antifreeze solution and the pressure in the pillow is related to the water-equivalent depth of the snow on the platform. One great advantage of snow pillows over a snow survey is the frequency of observations, which can be as high as twice per day. ... An instrument designed to provide a direct estimate of water equivalence of a snowpack by measuring the pressure due to the mass of overlying snow. https://definedterm.com/snow_pillow Snow Pillow: A large rubber/neoprene bladder containing anti-freeze laid on the ground prior to snowfall. The pressure of the fluid in the bladder is measured and this enables the determination of the snow water equivalent that location. http://bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca/glossary.htm |
