Methods for prediction of the avalanche danger

Abstract

Abstract The work considers methods for the prediction of the avalanche danger. It shown that for the local forecasts the most efficient way is to simulate snow mass by the particles dynamics technique. Basin on this model it is possible to predict the critical parameters for the avalanche sliding, the character of motion of snow mass, the force and energy of its impact on the movable and immovable obstacles with different shape and, hence, a destructive avalanche ability.
