Description

The Met Office currently operates a network of laser snow depth sensors. These sensors are now obsolete and we are awarding a contract to purchase new equipment to automatically measure snow depth at our observing sites.

Total Quantity or Scope

The Met Office needs to measure the key weather and climate parameter of snow depth as defined according to ISO 772:2022 10.28 i.e., the total height of the snowpack measured vertically from the ground to the snow surface. Although we currently use laser-based sensors, we are open to using other techniques and may choose to use more than one solution that meets the requirements (where relevant).
