      12 observed parameters are recalculated with a time step of 1 hour from the original raw data set of observed values with 10 minute time step. To form winter season data sets which would cover complete snow season, it was ...
    • Review of spatial variability of snowpack properties and its importance for avalanche formation. 

      Schweizer, Jürg; Kronholm, Kalle; Jamieson, J.Bruce; Birkeland, Karl W. (Journal article, 2008)
      The seasonal snow cover is spatially variable. Spatial variability of layer properties is due to various external and internal process drivers interacting with terrain and ground cover during and after the deposition ...
    • Rheology of a wet, fragmenting granular flow and the riddle of the anomalous friction of large rock avalanches 

      De Blasio, Fabio Vittorio (Journal article, 2009)
      The effective friction coefficient of rock avalanches diminishes gradually as a function of the avalanche volume. Large rock avalanches can reach run-out distances as long as ten times the fall height, despite the fact ...
