Freezing Rain Sensor

Reliable freezing rain and icing detection for Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS) and airport meteorological monitoring.

 

Typical Applications

  • Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS)
  • Airport freezing rain detection
  • Runway icing monitoring
  • Aviation meteorological stations
  • Airport winter weather monitoring
  • Freezing rain weather reporting

The Freezing Rain Sensor provides reliable detection of icing conditions for Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS), airport meteorological monitoring and aviation weather applications. Using ultrasonic sensing, it detects the accumulation of ice, frost and wet snow while automatic de-icing helps maintain dependable operation during severe winter weather conditions.

 

Key Features

  • Reliable detection of ice, frost and wet snow
  • Ultrasonic sensing for accurate icing detection
  • Automatic probe de-icing
  • Reliable operation in severe winter weather
  • Designed for AWOS integration
  • Supports aviation freezing rain monitoring and reporting
