Human-triggered avalanches
This CSV contains the density of human-triggered avalanches relative to the total potential release area for each day and region with the same forecast sub-level. The following variables are contained:
- *date* - date
- *dangerLevel* - the danger level forecast valid on the day of interest
- *levelBullSub* - the sub-level forecast valid on the day of interest
- *rhoSz2* - density of avalanche larger or equal than size 2 per *pra*
- *rhoSz3* - density of avalanche larger or equal than size 3 per *pra*
- *pra* - total surface area in km^2, which is considered as a potential release area within the warning regions forecast with the same sub-level on the day of interest
- *nRegions* - number of warning regions with the same sub-level

Observed danger signs
This CSV contains observational data on danger signs. The following variables are contained:
- *date* - date of the observation
- *sectorId* - this is the sector id as used in the Swiss avalanche forecast
- *whumpfCracksFrequency* - observations with three classes NONE, RARELY, OFTEN
- *dangerLevel* - danger level as forecast in the avalanche forecast the evening before
- *levelBullSub* - sub level as forecast in the avalanche forecast the evening before

Rutschblock test results
This CSV contains the Rutschblock results used in the study. The following variables are provided:
- *date* - the date the Rutschblock was observed
- *sectorId* - the warning region identifier
- *rbStab* - the stability class, as described in Figure 3
- *dangerLevel* - the danger level as forecast for the respective warning region on the day of the observation
- *levelBullSub* - the danger level as forecast for the respective warning region on the day of the observation
