Snow
profile analysis is used as a tool by ski hill Ski Patrol and Snow
Safety professionals to help determine whether specific layers in
the snow pack are subject to skier initiated avalanches. This is
accomplished by digging snow pits in the target areas and
recording layer snow temperatures, grain sizes and types, layer
hardness and other parameters. Various shear tests are performed to
assess the stability of the snow pack. This information is presented
in a "Snow Profile". Snowpro
Plus+ is the premier snow profile graphing software which has
been used for over 15 years world wide to quickly and accurately
produce the snow profile graphs.
Snowpro Plus+ is designed to
provide high quality plots of snow cover profile information
according to the International Classification for Seasonal Snow on
the Ground (ICSI). It incorporates a method for plotting results of
Ramsonde hardness measurements, the shovel shear test described in
the National Research Council of Canada, and Canadian Avalanche
Association guidelines (2007) and also the Rutshblock system
advocated by researchers at the University of Calgary (Jamieson and
Johnston, 1992). Other "Shear Tests" include, Compression, Shear
Frame, Deep Tap, Extended Column, and Propagation Saw. Layer
hardness can be plotted according to a system that approximates a
ram profile. Snow and Shear Layers can be tagged with a "Nickname"
to track layers over progressive profiles. The save formats are
based on XML, CSV, and JSON allowing easy data interchange with
other related applications.
