The SNOdar is renowned for its accurate and robust monitoring of snow depth and new snowfall, even during winter storm events. It is one of the only snow depth sensors that utilizes LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to provide accurate snow depth measurements. This high-precision method allows the SNOdar to create detailed, real-time snow depth data, ensuring reliable and efficient snow monitoring for a variety of applications. The SNOdar is also the only snow depth sensor that calculates an estimated snow water equivalent (SWE) value.

The SNOdar sensor can be set up to operate as a distance sensor, storm-board snowfall sensor, or a seasonal snow depth sensor. A powerful mobile app allows the user to quickly configure and deploy the unit as well as monitor real-time data when within Bluetooth range.

The SNOdar features real-time data transmission via serial RS-232 or SDI-12 interfaces, compatibility with various telemetry systems, and an internal data logger capable of storing an entire season's data. Its compact, lightweight design ensures durability in harsh winter conditions, operating efficiently at temperatures as low as -40°C. With low power consumption averaging less than 0.5 watts, the SNOdar is ideal for remote deployments using minimal power sources.
