4.1.3. Configuration Examples<br />
Common setup Profile setup Areal setup<br />
A sloping sensor and a<br />
horizontal sensor are<br />
installed. The sloping sensor<br />
determines the parameters of<br />
the complete <strong>snow</strong> cover, the<br />
horizontal sensor supplies<br />
additional in<strong>for</strong>mation about<br />
the <strong>snow</strong> conditions close to<br />
the ground layer.<br />
Fields of application:<br />
• Reservoir management<br />
• Flood prediction<br />

Up to four horizontal sensors<br />
are installed at the ground or<br />
at defined levels. The transit<br />
of <strong>snow</strong>melt <strong>water</strong> through<br />
the <strong>snow</strong> pack can be<br />
detected and a <strong>snow</strong> profile<br />
can be generated.<br />
Fields of application:<br />
• Flood prediction<br />
• Avalanche <strong>for</strong>ecast <strong>for</strong><br />
wet slab avalanches<br />

Four sloping sensors are<br />
installed in star shape. The<br />
measurements of the<br />
individual sensors are<br />
averaged. This results in a<br />
high areal resolution, that<br />
corresponds to the pixel size<br />
of remote sensing data.<br />
Fields of application:<br />
• Calibration of remote<br />
sense data<br />
• Calibration of SWE<br />
numeric models<br />
