SPOT6 Avalanche outlines 16 January 2019

Outlines of 6'041 avalanches mapped from SPOT6 satellite data over the Swiss Alps on 16 January 2019. The dataset was acquired following a period with very high avalanche danger. The outlines have different attributes described in the data example key (ExampleKey_AvalMapping16012019.pdf)

The generation of the data is described in:

Bühler, Y., E. D. Hafner, B. Zweifel, M. Zesiger, and H. Heisig (2019), Where are the avalanches? Rapid SPOT6 satellite data acquisition to map an extreme avalanche period over the Swiss Alps, The Cryosphere, 13(12), 3225-3238, doi:10.5194/tc-13-3225-2019.

The data was comprehensivly validated in a subset area in

Hafner, E.D.; Techel, F.; Leinss, S.; Bühler, Y., 2021: Mapping avalanches with satellites - evaluation of performance and completeness. Cryosphere, 15, 2: 983-1004. doi: 10.5194/tc-15-983-2021
