Investigation of snow avalanches with ground based ku-band radar

open access: yes, 2016
A ground based interferometric and fully polarimetric real aperture Ku-band system is used to observe snow avalanches and hazardous snowpack. The system's high temporal resolution of three minutes allows for near real time monitoring of processes ...

Point release wet snow avalanches Point release wet snow avalanches Point release wet snow avalanches

open access: yes, 2020
Wet snow avalanches can initiate from large fracture slabs or small point releases. Point release wet snow avalanches can reach dangerous proportions when they (1) initiate on steep and long avalanche paths and (2) entrain warm moist snow.

A study on the size of snow particles in powder-snow avalanches [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2001
AbstractIn this work, we study the size of the particles involved in a powder-snow avalanche. To determine this value, we study all the phenomena encountered by the particles before they arrive in the “body” of the avalanche. We study the boundary layer which is at the bottom of the avalanche. We determine, with the help of experimental data, the range

Opening angle of loose-snow avalanches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Loose-snow avalanches occur frequently after snow-falls or as long as snowpack evolves in winter.The two relevant points in the signature of this kind of avalanches are: the lack of internal cohesion and the inverted V shape of the avalanche, also known ...
