On the correlation between a sub-level qualifier refining the danger level with observations and models relating to the contributing factors of avalanche danger

Frank Techel et al.

Summary: Forecasting avalanche danger at a regional scale is a complex process that combines data-driven analysis and expert judgment. Avalanche forecasts often use a simplified five-level danger scale to communicate the severity of avalanche conditions, but this can result in a loss of information. The national avalanche warning service in Switzerland has developed an approach that combines absolute and relative judgments to improve the resolution of avalanche danger assessments. This study found that the sub-levels used in this approach correlate with key factors contributing to avalanche hazard, suggesting that forecasters can make more detailed assessments than the five-level danger scale allows.

Combining random forests and class-balancing to discriminate between three classes of avalanche activity in the French Alps

Pascal Dkengne Sielenou et al.

Summary: This study presents an approach combining random forests with class-balancing to predict avalanche activity in the French Alps, which is compared with competing methods. The research shows that variables of higher importance in random forest classifiers align with current avalanche literature and can distinguish days with different levels of avalanche activity effectively.

On the correlation between the forecast avalanche danger and avalanche risk taken by backcountry skiers in Switzerland

Kurt Winkler et al.

Summary: The study found that the risk taken during backcountry touring in avalanche terrain is correlated with the expected avalanche conditions described in the public avalanche forecast. Risk increases fourfold from danger level 1-Low to 2-Moderate, and nearly six times higher at 3-Considerable. Adapting rule-based decision frameworks to better reflect observed risk is suggested.

Avalanche danger level characteristics from field observations of snow instability

Juerg Schweizer et al.

Summary: The study characterized avalanche danger levels based on expert field observations of snow instability. It found that the proportion of profiles rated poor and very poor increased with higher danger levels. Additionally, the occurrence of signs of instability was closely related to the level of avalanche danger.
