Snow instability evaluation: calculating the skier-induced stress in a multi-layered snowpack
The process of dry-snow slab avalanche formation can be divided into two phases: failure initiation and crack propagation. Several approaches tried to quantify slab avalanche release probability in terms of failure initiation based on shear stress and strength. Though it is known that both the prope...
