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 2 years.
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.
ADAPTABLE FOR YOUR USE CASE
Internet of Things, in the ice
