Abstract
A hydrologic data telemetering system was designed to have the highest accuracy of any FM/FM telemetering system known. The repeatability of readout approaches 0.05%. This accuracy is not appreciably deteriorated in the presence of high noise levels in radio telemetry transmissions. This high accuracy is obtained by: (a) a frictionless transducer; (b) a specially designed tracking filter; (c) a wide-range frequency deviation of plus or minus 40% permitting greater resolution and accuracy; (d) readout subsequently converted to usable units by aid of a digital computer, and (e) locating the electronics and the transducer in a temperature stable environment, underground. The frictionless transducer technique was used in developing a low-displacement type pressure transducer for measuring the water-content of snow. A method was developed for the automatic plotting of isohyetal lines on an analog computer. (WRSIC abstract)
