Typical Alta Fracture Line Profiles

Update Item Information
Title Typical Alta Fracture Line Profiles
Subject Avalanches; Snow mechanics

In order to apply the information so gained to hazard evaluation on avalanche paths, it is necessary to know the characteristic snow profile patterns which lead to avalanche formation.
