Snow Multi-Parameter Probe

Snow-pack  is  a  complex  structure.  Snow  is  a  fragile  &  cellular  material  with  a  distinct  structural  setup  of  ice  crystals.  Their  mechanical  properties  and  stability  determine  whether  the  snow  is  stable  enough  to  prevent  an  avalanche.  Snow  is  also  a  rapidly changing material.
Multiparameter Probe   is   an   instrument   for   measuring the bonding force between snow grains (vertical to snow layers) with high spatial resolution
&  high  speed.    It  penetrates  the  snow-pack  with  user  selectable  speed  in  between  1  to  20  mm/s.With  this  instrument  snow  researchers  can  rapidly  
&   precisely   investigate   the   properties   of   snow   layers.

• Snowpack profiling for snow avalanche forecasting.
• Characterization of ski racing & snow runway.
• Compressive strength measurement.
