International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper was prepared as part of the team design competition for a graduate level course
given at the University of Canterbury, in Christchurch, New Zealand. It presents a high
level design of a snow avalanche telemetry system. The goal of the system is to provide
data to better assess avalanche risk, and to assist in designing more effective protection
measures in avalanche prone areas.
The primary conditions monitored are air pressure, snow density, snow depth, snow
temperature, wind velocity, wind direction, and ambient air temperature. All critical
aspects of the telemetering system have been specified, including the sensors,
transmitter/receiver, and telemetry frame design. Aspects of the system packaging and the
link budget which are unique to the alpine environment are discussed.
