Weather, snowpack and avalanche occurrence data for automated prediction of wet-snow avalanche activity

Datasets used to implement the wet-snow avalanche activity model presented in the article:

Hendrick, M., Techel, F., Volpi, M., Olevski, T., Pérez-Guillén, C., van Herwijnen, A., Schweizer, J. (2023). Automated prediction of wet-snow avalanche activity in the Swiss Alps. Journal of Glaciology, under review

Each dataset includes the input variables (weather and snowpack features) and the target variable (wet-snow avalanche day or not) used to build the model. Additionally, Dataset3_nowcast and Dataset3_forecast contain the predictions provided by the RF12 model.

All input variables are described in the Appendix of the article and also in the read_me file. Further information on SNOWPACK variables is also available at https://models.slf.ch/p/snowpack/ .
