Resumen
THIS PAPER ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM RELATED TO THE INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS OF ACTUAL SNOWFALL MEASUREMENTS PERFORMED WITH TWO DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS OF THE COMPENSATION METHODS FOR CHANGEABLE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS. THE PAPER ALSO PRESENTS THE OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF AN ULTRASOUND SENSOR FOR MONITORING SNOW LAYER (ON THE AIR-SIDE). IN PARTICULAR, THE PAPER INCLUDES A GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF THE RESULTS OF MEASUREMENTS PERFORMED IN MEASUREMENT STATIONS LOCATED IN POLAND AND AT SPITSBERGEN. THE TWO COMPENSATION METHODS (TEMPERATURE AND PARAMETRIC) WERE TESTED FOR THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN DIFFERENT, CHANGEABLE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS. THE MEASUREMENT RESULTS CONFIRM THAT THE APPLIED COMPENSATION METHODS ARE USEFUL IN MINIMIZING THE MEASUREMENT ERROR FOR SNOW LAYER THICKNESS MEASURED ON THE AIR-SIDE.
