Sensors to measure solar radiation

The global radiation is the total sun radiation which irradiates on the earth. It is compiled of direct sun radiation and indirect radiation wich shines through clouds, water- and dust particles (diffuse or sky radiation). It comprises a spectral area from 200 until more than 3000nm. Diverse sensors can be applied for radiation measurement according to the meteorological and climatological needs.

Continuous, automatic recording of precipitation amount

For recording any kind of precipitation (rain) with its intensity in the nature usually precipitation gauges and samplers are used. If precipitation has to be measured also in winter with temperatures below the freezing point, the measuring instrument has to be equipped with a heating.

Measuring the barometric pressure

The air pressure sensor PTB110 measures the barometric pressure and is made for the installation in a radiation protected switch cabinet or weather shelters. It has got a high long-time stability and can be used in a harsh climatic environment.

Reliable measurement of air temperature and air humidity for experts

Temperature and humidity measurements are needed for diverse requests and are of the most important meteorological parameters. Often both of the parameters are recorded with one sensor. SOMMER is offering with the Hydroclip and the MP-408A two very robust and long-term stable sensors for fulfilling highest requirements.

Wind measurement done by state-of-the-art technology

The measurement of the wind speed and wind direction are regarded as elemental meteorological parameters. As a producer of automatic weather stations, company SOMMER has gathered a vast experience in the wind measurement and cooperates with wind sensor producers of worldwide leading format.

Robust, durable weather stations for recording diverse meteorological data

The automatic weather station is made for measuring several meteorological parameters. It is designed and built for the long-term use under extreme weather conditions without any infrastructure. The AWS can be equipped with diverse sensors according to the specific customer requirements. SOMMER places great emphasis on highest quality and is specialised for weather stations in alpine and high alpine environments.

Reliable temperature measurement in the snow

The snow temperature sensor (Pt100) is a highly durable platinum resistance temperature detector type Pt100. It detects the snow temperature reliably and exactly.

Sensor to detect the sliding movement of snow

The sensor SGE-20 enables the measurement of the sliding movement of the snow, whereby deductions can be derived regarding the association between the condition of the surface of the slope, the inclination of the slope and the snow pack.

Generating a snow temperature profile

The SCA-sensor measures the temperature in the different layers of the snow pack as well as at the bottom. With this, a very exact temperature profile for the specific snow pack is generated.

Infrared sensor to measure the snow surface temperature

The compact infrared sensor SIR provides for the exact and non-contact measurement of the temperature of the snow surface.
