Refinements to the stability index for skier-triggered dry-slab avalanches / J.B. Jamieson, C.D. Johnston.
Title: | Refinements to the stability index for skier-triggered dry-slab avalanches / J.B. Jamieson, C.D. Johnston. |
Author(s): | Jamieson, J. B. Johnston, C. D. |
Date: | 1998. |
In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1998.), Vol. 26 (1998) |
Abstract: | Discusses stability indices for skier-triggering of slab avalanches with adjustment to skier-induced stress allowing for ski penetration and to shear strength allowing for normal load due to slab overlying weak layer. Incorporated into Swiss stability index, gives refined index that reduces number of incorrectly predicted slab avalanches for persistent weak layers. |
Notes: | Annals of Glaciology. Vol. 26 :296-302 (1998). Papers from the International Symposium on Snow and Avalanches, 26--30 May 1997, Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France, D.M. McClung (Editor) |
