Abstract:
There are about eighty avalanche geocomplexes, which belong to different classes according to avalanche activity, in the mountain massif Chornohora. One of the main tasks is an investigation of natural conditions of avalanche formation because of snow mass slide process influence on the environment and human activities. Snow-avalanche formation conditions within landscape complexes of Chornohora mountain massif in Ukrainian Carpathians, depending on group of factors (landscape structure, meteorological quantity and phenomenon and other), are considered. Special attention is paid to study the m

Abstract. This paper presents two avalanche forecasting applications NXD2000 and NXD-REG which were developed at the Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Re-search (SLF). Even both are based on the nearest neighbour method they are targeted to different scales. NXD2000 is used to forecast avalanches on a local scale. It is operated by avalanche forecasters responsible for snow safety at snow sport areas, villages or cross country roads. The area covered ranges from 10 km2 up to 100 km2 depending on the climatological homogeneity. It provides the forecaster with ten most similar days

Abstract The occurrence of atmospheric rivers (ARs) in association with avalanche fatalities is evaluated in the conterminous western United States between 1998 and 2014 using archived avalanche reports, atmospheric reanalysis products, an existing AR catalog, and weather station observations. AR conditions were present during or preceding 105 unique avalanche incidents resulting in 123 fatalities, thus comprising 31% of western U.S. avalanche fatalities. Coastal snow avalanche climates had the highest percentage of avalanche fatalities coinciding with AR conditions (31%–65%), followed by inte

Abstract:
ABSTRACTParticle size, particle speed and airflow speed have been measured in the powder snow clouds of avalanches to investigate the suspension and transportation processes of snow particles. The avalanches were artificially triggered at the Lautaret full-scale avalanche test-site (French Alps) where an ultrasonic anemometer and a snow particle counter were setup in an avalanche track for measurements. Relatively large particles were observed during passage of the avalanche head and then the size of the particles slightly decreased as the core of the avalanche passed the measurement station.

Abstract:
Abstract. One of the major challenges in avalanche hazard assessment is the correct estimation of avalanche release area size, which is of crucial importance to evaluate the potential danger that avalanches pose to roads, railways or infrastructure. Terrain analysis plays an important role in assessing the potential size of avalanche releases areas and is commonly based on digital terrain models (DTMs) of a snow-free summer terrain. However, a snow-covered winter terrain can significantly differ from its underlying, snow-free terrain. This may lead to different, and/or potentially larger relea

Abstract:
AbstractIn the past, numerical prediction of regional avalanche danger using statistical methods with meteorological input variables has shown insufficiently accurate results, possibly due to the lack of snowstratigraphy data. Detailed snow-cover data were rarely used because they were not readily available (manual observations). With the development and increasing use of snow-cover models this deficiency can now be rectified and model output can be used as input for forecasting models. We used the output of the physically based snow-cover model SNOWPACK combined with meteorological variables

AbstarctAccurate measurements of snow avalanche flows in forests are rare. To understand how forests can stop avalanches, we study a mixed flowing avalanche that stopped in a cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) forest in Japan. The large-scale dry slab avalanche occurred in the Makunosawa valley in Myoko on 17 February 2008 and damaged many trees. The site contains a geophone and other devices to detect avalanche activity. A nearby meteorological station provides weather information. Post-event observations were made of the scale of the avalanche and tree damage. These showed that the avalanche relea

The importance of highways in the mountainous regions of Georgia is very great for the socio-economic development of the country. Such natural disasters as snow avalanches significantly damage the road infrastructure, create delays in movement, often cause human casualties. Therefore, in order to implement preventive measures, the study of avalanche hazards on highways is of great importance.

Abstract. Snow avalanches are rapid gravitational mass movements that pose a significant hazard to both humans and infrastructure, including traffic lines. Risk management in mountainous regions usually relies on the experience of avalanche experts, observations in the field, weather and snowpack measurements, and numerical simulations. Ensuring road safety requires considering daily weather conditions, snowpack characteristics and terrain features. To include a numerical model in the decision-making process for road safety, it is essential to incorporate all these factors and utilize in situ
