Continuous and autonomous snow water equivalent measurements by a cosmic ray sensor on an alpine glacier

<p>Snow water equivalent (SWE) measurements of seasonal snowpack are crucial in many research fields. Yet accurate measurements at a high temporal resolution are difficult to obtain in high mountain regions. With a cosmic ray sensor (CRS), SWE can be inferred from neutron counts. We present th...
