Abstract
Abstract Meteorological and snow pack variables are measured on chronologically ordered sequences of avalanche and avalanche-free days. Discriminant analysis is used to define a subset of variables which produce an optimal separation of the two multivariate group means. Two seasons are identified in each of the years considered corresponding to periods of dry- and wet-snow avalanches, and form the basic stratification of avalanche days in the analysis. Days are stratified further within each season on the basis of magnitude and number or releases. Weather and snow parameters are integrated over variable time steps prior to each avalanche or avalanche-free day. This introduces a recursive element into the forecast method. Preliminary testing of the method points to its potential in real-time snow avalanche forecasting on a regional basis.
