Abstract: An inexpensive commercial instrument has been developed for measuring snow depths. The Belfort 900 uses acoustic ranging techniques to sense the surface of the snow and reports out the height of this surface above a reference level, such as the ground. Operation of the instrument and results of testing in the first year in the field are described. Some problems inherent in the use of this technique are discussed.
