The noise gate circuit 10 removes noise by opening the gate at a time a minute before the time corresponding to the snow depth one time before the measurement and closing the gate at the time of reception.
On the other hand, a pulse different from the transmission pulse is sent from the control circuit 14 to the noise gate circuit 10 at the same time as the transmission, and the ultrasonic wave propagation time is calculated by the snow depth detection circuit 11. Then, the snow propagation depth is calculated by subtracting the propagation time from the round trip propagation time from the transducer 1 to the reference plane measured beforehand when there is no snow. Next, this snow depth is compared with the previous measurement value by the discrimination gate circuit 12, and is stored when the numerical value is large. The maximum snow value is calculated by a peak hold circuit for each predetermined measurement time interval (for example, 10 to 20 minutes).
The signal is latched at 12 and output, converted to an analog output by the output circuit 8 and output.
