Abstract—In this paper, we present our preliminary research work on the measurement of snow depth using frequency modulated continuous wave radar sensors. An experiment using silicon radar kit that consists of two radar front-ends, an evaluation baseband board, and Nucleo64 microcontroller board was conducted and built a prototype to measure the snow depth. The measurement was carried out and can be displayed in real-time on a self-made GUI interface using the SAMI cloud system. The built measurement device has been attached with the Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) is capable of transmitting reliable data from the sensors in real time environment from the selected site of snow depth measurement.
