Main publication details
MARC recordExtreme value prediction of snow avalanches runout / David M. McClung, Arthur I. Mears.
| Title: | Extreme value prediction of snow avalanches runout / David M. McClung, Arthur I. Mears. |
| Author(s): | McClung, David M. Mears, Arthur I. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Cold Regions Science and Technology. (1991.), Vol. 19(2) (1991) |
| Abstract: | Proposes simple method based on terrain variables. By fitting runout data from five mountain ranges to extreme value distributions, it may be shown how and why extreme value parameters vary with terrain properties of different ranges. Method is applicable to small and truncated data sets. |
| Notes: | Cold Regions Science and Technology. Vol. 19(2) :163-175 (1991). |
| Keywords: | 551.32 -- Glaciology. 551.578.48 -- Avalanches. E10 -- Glaciology: snow and avalanches. |
