Snow

One Probe for Both Soil Moisture and Snow

Tests at Colle del Nivolet and Cima Pradazzo in the Italian Alps show that a single Finapp probe mounted above ground can measure snow water equivalent in winter and soil moisture the rest of the year. Snow was detected up to 200 m from the probe, making it a practical choice for mid mountain sites.
