Abstract:<p>A very powerful and commonly used method to assess the danger of avalanche release on a slope is the performance of snow stability tests. The present work aims to contribute towards a better understanding of snow stability test results by conducting force measurements during a snow stability test, namely the Compression Test (CT). We were particularly interested in the variability of the force applied to a potential weak layer during the test by different persons and for different snow covers.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
