Sensor Lift in Lower Austria - Trafelberg

22.05.2014

IMGW operates a small mesonet at Trafelberg (Muggendorf, NÖ). It consists of three Hobo weather stations, laser snow depth sensor, ultra-sonic snow depth sensor, snow pack analyser, micro rain radar and as the centerpiece the so-called sensor lift (MetLift). MetLift has been developed at IMGW.

It adapts the sensor height according to the snow depth automatically. This ensures a constant height of the sensors above snow surface even in the case of changing snow detphs. The mesonet needs regular maintenance. Some impressions of the spring-time maitenance tour can be found in the attached pictures.
