Wet snow detection by C-band SAR in avalanche forecasting
Hopsø, Ingrid Strømsvik (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-12-15)Avalanches usually occur in steep, snow-covered mountain sides under special conditions. The stability of the snowpack depends, among other things, on the melting and freezing of the snowpack. If a snow covered area has not undergone a melt/freeze-process, it could potentially be unstable due to depth hoar or buried layers of frost, and therefore pose an avalanche risk if the area is located at a ...
