Can Field Observations Be Combined Systematically with the Regional Danger Rating to Estimate the Local Avalanche Danger?
Snow avalanche danger can vary considerably within the large forecast regions in western Canada. Experienced recreationists routinely use the regional bulletin along with local observations to estimate the local avalanche danger. However, some less experienced recreationists are unsure how to interpret the various field observations. To assess a systematic approach, we conducted a field study d...
متن کاملFatal Avalanche Accidents and Forecasted Danger Levels: Patterns in the United States, Canada, Switzerland and France
Throughout the winter, avalanche forecasters issue bulletins to help the public and the managers of public facilities make avalanche safety decisions. These bulletins typically describe important snowpack features and current weather events before rating the avalanche danger on a scale of one through five. Although the character of avalanche conditions may vary between regions, the physical pro...
متن کاملNearest neighbour models for local and regional avalanche forecasting
This paper presents two avalanche forecasting applications NXD2000 and NXD-REG which were developed at the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF). Even both are based on the nearest neighbour method they are targeted to different scales. NXD2000 is used to forecast avalanches on a local scale. It is operated by avalanche forecasters responsible for snow safety at snow spo...
متن کاملPractical Implications of Regional Avalanche Survival Curves
An avalanche survival curve is a graphical illustration of survival probability during complete avalanche burial as a function of time. The purpose of calculating these curves is not only to illustrate that survival is time-dependent, but to deduce practical information from the course of the curve. The step-wise decrease of survival over time was first recognized in the original curve in 1994 ...
متن کاملNeural Imaging Using Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes
Introduction: This paper analyses the ability of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) for neural imaging. The current trend in the production of SPADs moves toward the minimumdark count rate (DCR) and maximum photon detection probability (PDP). Moreover, the jitter response which is the main measurement characteristic for the timing uncertainty is progressing. Methods: The neural imaging pro...
