The SR50A Sonic Distance Sensor provides a non-contact method for determining snow or water depth. It determines depth by emitting an ultrasonic pulse and then measuring the elapsed time between the emission and return of the pulse. An air temperature measurement is required to correct for variations of the speed of sound in air.
Note: Campbell Scientific recommends model SR50A-EE-L for operation in extreme environmental conditions where corrosion is a concern (such as coastal regions).

The CS225 temperature string uses multi-point temperature profiles and SDI-12 digital technology for simple integration and reliability. The CS225 consists of an arrangement of temperature sensors mounted in rugged steel-reinforced cable, permitting it to be buried, submerged, or integrated directly into structures. Temperature points are over-molded to provide long-term protection in all mediums. Each CS225 is custom manufactured.
Temperature profiling with the CS225 is suited for a wide variety of applications and environments, including the following:
The CS231 offers the same precise temperature profiling as our CS230 SDI-12 Temperature Profiler, but with a slimmer design for easier use in borehole and road applications. The CS231 requires a smaller installation hole when compared to the CS230. For road applications, this means easier drilling, as well as less time and material to backfill.
The CS231 SDI-12 Temperature Profiler uses SDI-12 digital technology for simple integration. SDI-12 does away with analog measurement inaccuracies and susceptibility to electrical noise. The CS231 consists of a rigid probe assembly and up to four optional external temperature probes. The rigid probe assembly maintains the precise position of the temperature points within the profile, while protecting the temperature sensors in all mediums for the long term.
The CS231 is suited for a wide variety of applications and environments. The completely sealed probe assembly and external probes permit the CS231 to be used in roadbeds, soils, and water (snow and ice).
Applications where the CS231 is used include spring load adjustment, frost and permafrost monitoring, soil, and water or snowpack temperature profiling.

The SR50ATH is a sonic distance sensor with an integrated external temperature probe and heater. Sonic sensors determine distance by emitting an ultrasonic pulse and then measuring the elapsed time between the emission and return of the pulse. The temperature probe allows the SR50AT series to output temperature-corrected values (speed of sound varies with temperature). The integrated heater prevents ice and rime from coating the transducer.
Note: Campbell Scientific recommends model SR50AT-316SS-L for marine environments.
The SR50AT-L is an acoustic distance sensor that measures the elapsed time between emission and return of an ultrasonic pulse. This measurement can be used to determine snow or water depth. The SR50AT-L includes an external temperature sensor and outputs a temperature-corrected distance reading, eliminating the need for further post-processing.
Note: Campbell Scientific recommends model SR50AT-316SS-L for marine environments.
The CS725 measures snow-water equivalent (SWE) by passively detecting the change in naturally occurring electromagnetic energy from the ground after it passes through snow cover. It is mounted above the ground and has no contact with the snow. As the snow pack increases, the sensor detects the attenuation of the electromagnetic energy from the ground, and SWE can be calculated. The measurement area of the CS725 is 50 to 100 square meters (540 to 1,075 square feet), making it an excellent replacement sensor for the traditional snow pillow and snow scale.
Common applications for the CS725:
The SDMS40 is a powerful and cost-effective 2D multipoint, laser-based snowfall sensor. In the past, multipoint laser-based snow depth sensors have typically been complex and costly, so the practical SDMS40 was developed to address those issues. Performance and reliability of the device have been proven with thorough testing of the sensor and its measurement method. (Read the white paper.) With the SDMS40, you can enjoy accurate data from a compact, automated, multipoint scanning laser snow depth sensor at a reasonable price.
The ability to quickly and reliably detect the onset of snowfall and snowmelt is a highly sought-after feature in a snow depth sensor, and the SDMS40 does not disappoint. It is one of a few laser sensor models available in the world that can reliably detect the onset of snowfall and snowmelt, and of all the models available, the SDMS40 is the most cost-effective.
Campbell Scientific prides itself on the high quality and accuracy of its products. We won't put our stamp of approval on anything that does not meet our expectations or the needs of our customers, and we want to ensure you can trust the quality and accuracy of the SDMS40 like you would trust any Campbell system. So we field tested the SDMS line of snow sensors over three Canadian winter seasons. It has proven itself to be practical, accurate, and of excellent quality.

The CS110 is used for lightning warning applications and in research applications for measuring the local electric field. It measures the vertical component of the atmospheric electric field at the earth's surface. The CS110 sensor is typically part of a larger electric-field system. It includes an integrated CR1000 datalogger, and so can be expanded with the addition of other sensors and peripherals.
Note: For a complete system that uses the CS110 Electric Field Meter Sensor, refer to the LW110 Lightning Warning System page.
The CSAT3BH is ideal for flux customers who operate stations in arctic or tundra ecosystems. This easy-to-use sonic anemometer features a smart heated option that delivers just the right amount of heat to keep the instrument free of ice and snow, enabling you to obtain continuous, reliable flux data in cold environments that typically experience ice accretion on sensors. The CSAT3BH is designed to melt off any ice that has accumulated on the sensor to avoid prolonged periods of data loss.
The CSAT3BH features variable power, only delivering power when needed—as opposed to the common method of providing two-way heating (on/off). Moreover, there are real-time data flags when the heaters are turned on, which is crucial to post-processing your data files.
The CSAT3BH is a heated version of the CSAT3B 3-D Sonic Anemometer with Integrated Electronics. The specifications of the CSAT3BH are the same as the CSAT3B with regard to wind measurements.
