Snow and avalanche test sites French avalanche research: experimental test sites
This paper contains a short description of the experimental Lautaret site dedicated to avalanche dynamic studies. Since the seventies, many experimental campaigns allowed measuring different avalanche parameters such as velocity, height and pressure. Technical development have been also carried in this site and are presented here. More recently, a chute for physical modelling of avalanche motio...
متن کاملSnow Avalanche Admonisher through Wireless Sensor Network
The temperature reaches around -40C to -60C in hilly and mountainous areas during winters which may lead to many probable natural hazards. Defence personnel as well as civilians are unaware of these hazards. Amongst all the natural hazards, Snow Avalanche is one of the major hazards which has the probability of occurrence in the above listed temperature range. The aim of this paper is to bring ...
متن کاملComputational snow avalanche simulation in forested terrain
Two-dimensional avalanche simulation software operating in three-dimensional terrain is widely used for hazard zoning and engineering to predict runout distances and impact pressures of snow avalanche events. Mountain forests are an effective biological protection measure against avalanches; however, the protective capacity of forests to decelerate or even to stop avalanches that start within f...
متن کاملRemote Sensing Tools for Snow and Avalanche Research
Since the first images acquired from airplanes (1915) and satellites (1960), remote sensing has had a great impact in diverse number of fields such as meteorology, military, topographic mapping, archaeology and forestry. Today remote sensing has even become a common tool for the general public, with location searches using high spatial resolution (< 1m) imagery on GoogleEarth or Bing Maps. The ...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Networks for Snow Avalanche Forecasting in Indian Himalaya
ASTRACT: Snow avalanches pose serious threat to Indian troops deployed in snow-bound areas of western Himalaya during winter months. The most viable way to mitigate avalanche threat in these areas is to precisely predict the time and place of their occurrences. Since, the factors involved in the formation of an avalanche are too many and underlying physical processes are quite complex, no predi...
