Examining the operational use of avalanche problems with decision trees and model-generated weather and snowpack variables
<p>Avalanche problems are used in avalanche forecasting to describe snowpack, weather, and terrain factors that require distinct risk management techniques. Although they have become an effective tool for assessing and communicating avalanche hazard, their definitions leave room for interpreta...
