Snow information for water and risk management
A comprehensive combination of detailed ground information, continuous satellite monitoring and detailed weather modelling enabling integrative information for your operations
Problem
Hydropower operators need accurate information for reliable forecasts
Current data and analytics, on the other hand, are not granular enough, not connected in a simple and useful way, and limited to specific timeframes which are generally available much later than many of these decisions are made.
Solution
One comprehensive snow monitoring system
Accurate snow information on snow height, snow weight, snow layering and snow water equivalent (SWE) are crucial for a wide range of applications. SNOWi combines the strength of high-resolution satellite observations, innovative ground sensors and precise weather forecasts to provide detailed information on snowpack and its future development.
