A Correction Factor for Rogh's Stability Ingerx of Slab Avalanche Release

Abstract Roch (1966) proposed that the ratio of the strength of a bed layer to the load on it could be used to predict slab avalanche release. However, both he and Perla (unpublished) found that the mean strength was approximately twice the mean stress for snow layers known to have failed. A strengt...
