Title: As the Snow Goes, A Multivariable Study of Factors that Affect Loss of Snow: Date: 2004; Authors: Erica David; Description: What are effects of environmental factors on sublimation of snow pack? There is a need to retain winterâ€™s snow pack to improve water supply dur...; Object ID: issw-2004-022-031.pdf; Keywords: intercepted snow, branch resistance, sublimation, snow pack, water supply; View additional details about As the Snow Goes, A Multivariable Study of Factors that Affect Loss of Snow

Title: A French Local Tool for Avalanche Hazard Forecasting: Astral, Current State and New Developments: Date: 2002; Authors: Laurent Merindol, Gilbert Guyomarc'h, Gerald Giraud; Description: In several ski resorts, we have distributed a tool named Astral. Every days, this software calculates an Euclidean distance and correlation with past ...; Object ID: issw-2002-105-108.pdf; Keywords: statistical method, avalanche forecasting, weather and snow pack parameters; View additional details about A French Local Tool for Avalanche Hazard Forecasting: Astral, Current State and New Developments

Title: New Snow in the Snow-Cover Model Snowpack: Date: 2002; Authors: Charles Fierz, Jordy Hendrikx, Michael Lehning, Fabienne Perret, Annouck Vrouwe; Description: A correct representation of new snow and its properties is crucial in order to initialize the simulation of snow-cover evolution. On the one hand, ad...; Object ID: issw-2002-328.pdf; Keywords: modeling, snow metamorphism, snow pack; View additional details about New Snow in the Snow-Cover Model Snowpack

Title: Measuring Snow Profiles with High Resolution: Interpretation of the Force-Distance Signal from a Snow Micro Penetrometer: Date: 2000; Authors: Christine Pielmeier, Martin Schneebeli; Description: The classification of snow profiles is traditionally based on the discrete interpretation of snow layers in a snow pack. The layers are discriminated ...; Object ID: issw-2000-215-222.pdf; Keywords: snow pack, snow profile, snow classification, penetrometer, scale, spatial variability; View additional details about Measuring Snow Profiles with High Resolution: Interpretation of the Force-Distance Signal from a Snow Micro Penetrometer

Title: Glide Avalanche Forecasting: Date: 1996; Authors: A. Wilson, G. Statham, R. Bilak, B. Allen; Description: The forecasting of glide avalanches is particularly important when human life or structures are threatened. The best way to reduce the impact of such ...; Object ID: issw-1996-200-202.pdf; Keywords: avalanche forecasting, snow gliding, avalanche release, snow pack; View additional details about Glide Avalanche Forecasting

Title: Correlation of Fast Rates of Snow Glide with Full-Depth Avalanche Occurrence: Date: 1994; Authors: J.A. Clarke, D.M. McClung; Description: Snow glide is the translational slip of the entire snow pack over a sloping ground surface. Requirements for snow glide have been established from fie...; Object ID: issw-1994-405-407.pdf; Keywords: avalanche forecasting, snow gliding, avalanche release, snow pack; View additional details about Correlation of Fast Rates of Snow Glide with Full-Depth Avalanche Occurrence

Title: An Investigation of Sun Crust Formation Using Field Data and Laboratory Experiments: Date: 1992; Authors: Toshihiro Ozeki, Eizi Akitaya; Description: Sun crust formation mechanism is investigated through field observations as well as laboratory experiments. From the field observations, the structure...; Object ID: issw-1992-342-350.pdf; Keywords: sun crust, hoar growth, stability, snow pack; View additional details about An Investigation of Sun Crust Formation Using Field Data and Laboratory Experiments

Title: Evaluation of the Shovel Shear Test: Date: 1988; Authors: Peter Schaerer; Description: The shovel shear test - an index observation of the stability of snow packs - consists of cutting a vertical column of snow, applying a force by press...; Object ID: issw-1988-274-276.pdf; Keywords: snow pack, stability, shovel shear test, failure, snow layer; View additional details about Evaluation of the Shovel Shear Test

Title: The Swiss Rutschblock Snow Stability Evaluation Test: Date: 1986; Authors: Danny Whitmore, Susan A. Burak, James Malone, Robert E. Davis; Description: Conventional backcountry shear tests of the snow pack are compared with the Swiss Rutschblock test on steep, stable slopes.
