Short summary
We present a network of 26 sensors measuring snow water equivalent through cosmic rays across the Italian Alps. We study the application of a parameterisation shared by all the probes. The parameters were defined and validated with data taken during two seasons at 13 sites. We show that the parameterisation gives a good estimate of the water equivalent. This finding can contribute to expand data availability by installing similar probes in sites at high elevations and in inaccessible locations.
