Purpose

The data include measurements of snow-depth in extreme conditions using A USH-8 Ultrasonic Snow Depth Sensor.

A USH-8 Ultrasonic Snow Depth Sensor is used to obtain:

-precise measurement of snow-depth in extreme conditions

- additional air-temperature detection feature to measure snow-depth over a wide temperature range.
