entered into the computer, checked and stored. Automatic devices are being introduced,
connected to the IT system and used for flood prevention activities and data collection.
Runoff is determined by calculation and is used for operational purposes and analyses.
Current speed is determined by instruments and calculations from field measurements.
Data are entered into the computer, checked, stored and used for operational purposes
and subsequent analyses. Continuous measurements are performed by automatic devices
connected to the IT system.
Ground water level is measured from wells. Observers measure the level three times a
day and record it in the log. At the end of each month, the log is forwarded to MHS by
mail; data are entered into the computer, checked and stored. Automatic devices connected
to the IT system are used, continuously measuring ground water level. Data are used
for operative and other purposes.
4.3.2 Glaciology (snow), activities and organisation
Snow cover extent (amount of soil covered) is determined at all MHS meteorological stations.
Data are recorded in observation logs and subsequently entered into the computer.
User programmes determine the number of days with snow, the start and end of snow
appearance on the ground etc.
Snow cover depth is determined by snow stake at all MHS meteorological stations. From
the main meteorological stations data are transferred as meteorological messages to be
used in national and international data exchange. Data are entered into the computer,
checked and stored. Automatic stations ensure constant monitoring of snow depth by
laser sensors.
