Using satellite navigation, communication and remote sensing for timely access to high-quality and reliable information on snow

SnowSense will develop new in-situ equipment that will provide and communicate snow data even in remote regions. The integration of the snow data in a hydrological model and spatial observations from EO will offer an end-to-end service to flood forecasts authorities and hydropower companies. SnowSense is designed to provide a dedicated commercial information service to water authorities and hydropower companies to support their daily operations.
