Seasonal Ice Mass Balance Buoy 3

4-Season Through-Ice Observation

SIMB3 spans ice, ocean, and atmosphere to autonomously measure ice thickness, temperature, ocean and atmospheric data for up to a year.

Collect data in summer

High-precision sonic rangefinders directly measure ice and snow thickness even when the ice is warm and melting.

Set it and forget it

Install without tools in less than 30 min for fully-autonomous, 4-season operation.

Open-water deployable

Being waterproof and buoyant, SIMB3 is operable in open water, seasonal, and multiyear ice.
