Avalanche mapping, model validation and warning systems.

Objectif

To establish the standards for common data bases: avalanche events and sites data bases plus avalanche experimental results data bases.
To coordinate field experimental activity, improving the division of labour and preparing experiments on common sites.
To cross test models on the same avalanche events and work out guidelines for avalanche detection.

The content is divided into three separate Work Packages:
Avalanche Information System, which consists in sharing data bases and assessing the possibility of improving
event-related data bases by using results generated by models. This possibility will be explored by crossing
existing models with existing data bases.
Avalanche Warning Systems, which is centred on avalanche detection: as "qualitative" detection systems exist,
the aim is to draw up industrial guidelines for systems designed to provide "quantitative" information, e.g. an
order of magnitude of the mass release is of the utmost importance.
Validation of models used for mapping and tests of sensors used for warning purposes: the different partners
operate experimental sites, whose main justification is to provide data to models and also to test some
measurement systems, as sensors, photogrammetry etc. So this part will mainly consist in sharing the available
experimental results and also testing a coordination between the experimental activities. This latter task will
make it necessary to first define which data are the most important to collect through experimentation and secon
d to coordinate the experimentations carried out in the different sites. Having some experiments carried out in
a "central" site is a common goal, but the time and the means necessary for the equipment of such a site are
outside the programme.
