Title: A Smartphone Application for Estimating the Critical Slope Angle for Avalanche Release: Date: 2016-10-02; Authors: Ron Simenhois, Karl W. Birkeland, Alec van Herwijnen; Description: Once a weak layer has fractured, slope steepness largely dictates whether or not an avalanche will release. Exceeding the critical slope angle, i.e. a...; Object ID: ISSW16_O17.01.pdf; Keywords:; View additional details about A Smartphone Application for Estimating the Critical Slope Angle for Avalanche Release

Title: Measuring Acoustic Emissions in an Avalanche Starting Zone to Monitor Snow Stability: Date: 2013-10-07; Authors: Ingrid Reiweger, JÃ¼rg Schweizer; Description: Evaluating snowpack stability still involves time-consuming and labour-intensive manual tests; in dangerous or remote areas performing such tests migh...; Object ID: ISSW13_paper_O2-14.pdf; Keywords: snow avalanche, avalanche release, snow stability evaluation, acoustic emission, precursor; View additional details about Measuring Acoustic Emissions in an Avalanche Starting Zone to Monitor Snow Stability

Title: A Multi-Dimensional Water Transport Model to Reproduce the Preferential Flow in a Snowpack: Date: 2013-10-07; Authors: Hiroyuki Hirashima, Satoru Yamaguchi, Takafumi Katsushima; Description: Modeling of liquid water transport in snowpack is important for the prediction of wet snow avalanches. In this study, a multi-dimensional water transp...; Object ID: ISSW13_paper_O4-06.pdf; Keywords: water transport in the snowpack, numerical model, preferential flow, slope effect; View additional details about A Multi-Dimensional Water Transport Model to Reproduce the Preferential Flow in a Snowpack

Title: Mathematical Modeling of Slope Flows Entraining Bottom Material: Date: 2013-10-07; Authors: Eglit M.E, Yakubenko A.E.; Description: Entrainment of bottom material by the slope flows (such as snow avalanches, debris flows and so on) essentially influences on their dynamics, so it s...; Object ID: ISSW13_paper_P2-56.pdf; Keywords: slope flows, entrainment of bottom material; View additional details about Mathematical Modeling of Slope Flows Entraining Bottom Material

Title: Small-Scale Meteorological Conditions at an Avalanche Slope: Date: 2013-10-07; Authors: Reinhard Fromm, Friedrich Obleitner, Thomas Gigele; Description: The seasonal development of the Alpine snow cover is mainly influenced by terrain features, surface properties, vegetation and atmospheric processes n...; Object ID: ISSW13_paper_P4-05.pdf; Keywords: micro-meteorology, atmospheric variables, statistical analysis; View additional details about Small-Scale Meteorological Conditions at an Avalanche Slope
