SIMBA

Snow Ice Mass Balance Apparatus (SIMBA)

SIMBA is an autonomous device that provides reliable measurement of snow and ice structure. These devices from SAMS Enterprise allow monitoring of ice or snow thickness, movement and temperature profiles, whilst resolving any air, ice or water interfaces.

SIMBA measures snow and ice pack characteristics, sends real-time, high resolution data from remote and extreme environments, and can play a key part in protecting the environment, people and infrastructure:

SNOW: Avalanche forecasting aid

RIVER ICE: Snow melt and flood forecasting

SEA ICE: Climate and environmental research and navigation.
