Spatial Variations in Snow Stability Inferred from Artillery Control
Abstract Decisions on snow stability are strongly influenced by the presence of fresh avalanches. An analysis of 18 pairs of controlled avalanche paths in Colorado indicates most behave independently. The study supports the hypothesis that spatial variations in slope stability are common in unstable...

| Summary: | Abstract Decisions on snow stability are strongly influenced by the presence of fresh avalanches. An analysis of 18 pairs of controlled avalanche paths in Colorado indicates most behave independently. The study supports the hypothesis that spatial variations in slope stability are common in unstable snow. |
