Snowfall Model Data / Graphs
|
|
The following graphs represent calculated snowpack (and snowfall) at various altitudes in the range 800m - 2000m. It is based on extensive field data obtained of average snowpack and high altitude weather readings on Mt Rolleston's Goldney Ridge (Arthur's Pass National Park) in 2007-2009. Slope angles are based on 20º-25º (windslab is not represented in snowpack depths, but is estimated separately).
Experimental avalanche risk modelling (%) is based on calculated new snow depths, snowpack layer density, free water content, perceived crusts (rain & wind) within the overall snowpack, windslab presence, temperature, humidity and rainfall estimations. Note that the avalanche modelling functions take into account possible path travel distances of triggered avalanche events, hence low altitude areas can still show high risk although stable snow exists at these levels (visit www.avalanche.net.nz for human analysed avalanche assessments).
Notes:
- Graphs are not updated with "todays" snowfall & snow-pack data until midnight on that day when all the day's data is reassessed and crunched.
- All snowpack data for 2012 & 2013 was lost due to a lightning struck PC. The original graphs will be maintained, but no raw data is recoverable.
