Analysis of the snow-atmosphere energy balance during wet-snow instabilities and implications for avalanche prediction
Wet-snow avalanches are notoriously difficult to predict; their formation mechanism is poorly understood since in situ measurements representing the thermal and mechanical evolution are difficult to perform. Instead, air temperature is commonly used as a predictor variable for days with high wet-snow avalanche danger – often with limited success. As melt water is a major driver of wet-snow inst...
متن کاملprediction of snow avalanche -susceptibility in meigun-shemshak road using rare events logistic regression
1. introduction mountain regions are increasingly endangered by a variety of disaster, including avalanche, debris flows, and rock slide. some characteristics such as elevation, angle of slope, vegetation and climatic elements could affect the avalanche event. indeed, avalanche is the second factor in soil erosion that causes demolition; therefore, it threatens the food safety. iran has two mai...

متن کاملHourly mass and snow energy balance measurements from Mammoth Mountain, CA USA, 2011–2017
The mass and energy balance of the snowpack govern its evolution. Direct measurement of these fluxes is essential for modeling the snowpack, yet there are few sites where all the relevant measurements are taken. Mammoth Mountain, CA USA, is home to the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory and University of California – Santa Barbara Energy Site (CUES), one of five energy balance mon...
متن کاملComputational snow avalanche simulation in forested terrain
Two-dimensional avalanche simulation software operating in three-dimensional terrain is widely used for hazard zoning and engineering to predict runout distances and impact pressures of snow avalanche events. Mountain forests are an effective biological protection measure against avalanches; however, the protective capacity of forests to decelerate or even to stop avalanches that start within f...
