|
In order to clarify regional snow and avalanche conditions, the snow density along two typical highway lines in the Kanas avalanche area in January 2024 was measured. Based on the characteristics of dry and cold snow under the continental climate conditions of Northwest China, the density of naturally deposited snow and avalanche deposition is compared. The different characteristics of the density profiles at different conditions are identified. The results show that the trends of snow density profiles under the different conditions share similarities, but the density gradient and the maximum density change significantly from naturally deposited snow to avalanche deposition. Therefore, based on the characteristics of the vertical density profile and the maximum snow density, it can be identified whether a snow deposition is from natural snowfall or an avalanche. The outcomes provide a scientific basis for the analysis and identification of natural snow and avalanche deposits in the field.
