Analysis of the snow-atmosphere energy balance during wet-snow instabilities and implications for avalanche prediction
Wet-snow avalanches are notoriously difficult to predict; their formation mechanism is poorly understood since in situ measurements representing the thermal and mechanical evolution are difficult to perform. Instead, air temperature is commonly used as a predictor variable for days with high wet-sno...
