Role of Certain Natural Factors in the Formation of Snow Avalanches
Abstract
Problems connected with the effect of atmospheric conditions have defining significance for railroad building in mountainous and taiga terrain and also for successful protection of the operated railroads from snow avalanches. From this comes the necessity of investigating the effect of meteorological conditions considering the relief and afforestation of the area on the occurrence of avalanches. In this article an effort is made to establish at least approximately the effect of air temperature, amount of precipitation, the wind rose diagram and the snow transport connected with it on the formation of snow avalanches in one section of the Kuybyshev Railroad.
