Title: Observations from a Statistical Model for Maximum Avalanche Run-Out Distances in Southwest Montana: Date: 1992; Authors: L.R. McKittrick, R.L. Brown; Description: An extreme value (Gumbel) distribution was evaluated as a model of maximum avalanche run-out distances in Southwest Montana.

Title: Maximum Avalanche Runout Mapping; A Case Study from the Central Sierra Nevada: Date: 1990; Authors: Hans Frutiger; Description: In 1983 an avalanche hazard map (AHM) had been prepared for Galena Basin in the Central Sierra Nevada. That area was to be developed as a ski resort a...; Object ID: issw-1990-245-251.pdf; Keywords: topographic, snowstorm, friction, velocity, runout distance; View additional details about Maximum Avalanche Runout Mapping; A Case Study from the Central Sierra Nevada

Voellmy (1955) pioneered the first general mod...; Object ID: issw-1986-111-137.pdf; Keywords: water flow, runout distance, newtonian; View additional details about A Three Dimensional Dynamic Model of Turbulent Avalanche Flow

Title: Snow Avalanche Size Classification: Date: 1980; Authors: David M. McClung, Peter A. Schaerer; Description: When avalanche events are reported, it is necessary to include an estimate or measure of their size. If a simple, consistent method of sizing avalanch...; Object ID: issw-1980-012-030.pdf; Keywords: storm cycles, runout, avalanche classification; View additional details about Snow Avalanche Size Classification
