Campbell Scientific SHM30 Snow Depth Sensor

[stuartthompson1]

The UK Met Office have these Snow Depth Sensors in the Network.

https://www.campbellsci.com.au/shm30

They use an eye safe laser light to determine the snow depth. But when I deploy one, the only option I can find for the Observing Method is ‘(Ultra)sonic ranger’.

Please can an Observing Method of 'visible eye-safe laser light' be added to this sensor.

Many thanks
Stuart

Stuart et al: two comments:

1. the operationally used methods of observation for snow depth will be submitted for final review, for inclusion in the WIGOS Metadata Standard within the next 3-4 weeks, nad we should address these issues. action of GCW
2. on the specific entry: SHM30 (manufactured by Lufft/Jenoptiks) is a class 2 (eye-safe) laser emitting sensor acting as a distance meter. - this may not be in the tables today (thus, see add python scripts and make separate directories for tables and schemas #1).
   the ultrasonic ranger sensor is model SR50 (and its many versions) manufactured by Campbell Scientific.
