SensorLogic launches first
in a series of climate-tech sensors March 10, 2022 2.5 billion people rely
on the annual snowpack for drinking water,
hydropower, food crops, and more. Accurately
predicting water availability has become a global
priority due to climate change. SensorLogic is
developing a range of new snow sensors that cost
less to install and maintain, offer flexible
placement options, and deliver real-time results
over LTE, LoRa and satellite. Bozeman, Montana: SensorLogic's
SNOdar, a low-power, affordable and versatile sensor
offers a new way for ski areas, water conservation
districts, governments, private weather companies,
and hydropower plants to accurately measure snow
depth in real-time. SNOdars are currently deployed
across US and European environmental agencies, hydro
plants and ski resorts. "Current snowpack sensing
technology is outdated and expensive to install and
maintain. These barriers prevent sensor deployment
where they are needed most. This results in
uncertain water forecasting during unusual winters,
which are becoming more common, with potentially
devastating outcomes for the 2.5 billion people who
rely on the water stored in seasonal snowpack.
SensorLogic's suite of new snow sensing technologies
are a critical addition to predicting water
availability." says H.P. Marshall, a leading snow
scientist and former group leader for the NASA
SnowEx Project. "Customer feedback on SNOdar
performance has been incredible, especially in
extreme environments or when compared to their
existing ultrasonic or laser sensors," says Doug
Roberts, founder of SensorLogic. "SNOdar is simple
to set up and retrieve real-time results on
smartphones, data loggers, or our SNOdar Cloud, even
during severe storms where most sensors fail." SNOdar Features and Benefits:
