Abstract: For more than twelve years, the CEN (Snow Study Center) has been developing operational software for snow data analysis. Various applications are available, depending on the geographical scale: the national data base located at the CEN, regional software for avalanche forecasters and local applications for snow weather patrollers in ski resorts. GELINIV is the day-to-day work station ofthe local avalanche forecaster. All nivo-meteorological data (snow weather observations and snowpits) can be processed and displayed on various screens to help in snow cover analysis. It manages up to nine measurement points and several years of data are available on-line. In 1993, the first version under the DOS system was available. The version V2 is a new one developed by the computing division of the CEN to work on IBM Compatible under the Windows interface. It is free software for French ski resorts of the snow weather network. In March 1996, more than fifty programs were installed for data processing about eighty measurement points in the French Alps and Pyrenees. A new version, V2.2, has been announced for November; one of the innovations will be the multi-language support for an international broadcast. In the future, the data transmission by modem between ski resorts and regional centers of Meteo-France will be examined.
