Okay the title was weak I know, but I'm green here so be patient. I'm working on a project to determine if I can take measurements of snow in graduated 10 CM increments utilizing thermistors, specifically how I do it.
I wanting to get is temperature spreads throughout the season in a snow pack in Alaska for avalanche control. Usually we have snow that remains right around 0 degrees Celsius, but other times we don't mainly near the surface of the snow-pack on cold nights. Now I take temps manually with a thermometer, and it's a pain.
I'm envisioning a long sturdy PVC pipe, with holes all the way up say a 400 CM post, with a macrame of wires feeding all these thermistors into my Multiplexer, which only has 32 channels so it will probably end up being less than 10 CM.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
