Artificial release and monitoring technology for avalanches
Active temporary measures require assessment of the avalanche danger (for example by an avalanche commission) immediately prior to taking action, whereas passive temporary measures are done as a preventive measure regardless of the prevailing avalanche situation. Artificial release of avalanches is the use of technical methods to artificially trigger an avalanche at a specified time with the aim of temporarily securing potential release areas, avalanche tracks and deposition areas. Use of artificial release methods requires familiarity with the area and practical experience, as well as an understanding of the blasting and avalanche sciences. Avalanche monitoring includes all methods of direct systematic recording, observing or monitoring of an avalanche event using technological devices or other monitoring systems. Avalanche monitoring mainly serves scientific purposes and its application for early warning is restricted because events are rapid and warning time is negligibly short.
