Validating modeled critical crack length for crack propagation in the snow cover model SNOWPACK

<p>Observed snow stratigraphy and snow stability are of key importance for avalanche forecasting. Such observations are rare and snow cover models can improve the spatial and temporal resolution. To evaluate snow stability, failure initiation and crack propagation have to be considered. Recent...
