Abstract: Stationary, ground-buried and mobile, sledge mounted FMCW radars have been used for five years to investigate snow stratigraphy. The systems have proved their feasibility for localized, nondestructive measurements of the development of snow layering, waterequivalence, initial percolation of meltwater, flow depth of dense flow avalanches, and slope perpendicular flow speed profiles. Mobile radars are used to determine areal distributions of snow stratigraphy and waterequivalence.
