A data exploration tool for averaging and accessing large data sets of snow stratigraphy profiles useful for avalanche forecasting
Snowpack models can provide detailed insight about the evolution of the snow stratigraphy in a way that is not possible with direct observations. However, the lack of suitable data aggregation methods currently prevents the effective use of the available information, which is commonly reduced to bul...

Snowpack models can provide detailed insight about the evolution of the snow stratigraphy in a way that is not possible with direct observations.

This is only of limited value for operational avalanche forecasting and has substantially hampered the application of spatially distributed simulations, as well as the development of comprehensive ensemble systems. To address this challenge, we present an averaging algorithm for snow profiles that effectively synthesizes large numbers of snow profiles into a meaningful overall perspective of the existing conditions.
