  • Manual profiles

    Data of the traditional manual profiles for the locations Weissfluhjoch, Klosters and Küblis. For the location of Küblis there are no traditional manual profile data. We provided the data as both PDF and .CAAML format (See https://niviz.org/ or http://caaml.org/Schemas/V5.0/Profiles/SnowProfileIACS/CAAMLv5_SnowProfileIACS.pdf). Moreover, we added LWC and density profiles when available (all locations).

  • Webcam images

    Webcam images showing some typical differences in the snow conditions at the four sites (Küblis, Klosters, Laret and Weissfluhjoch) for two time periods (14-18.3.2019 and 27.1-11.2.2020). Both time periods included a precipitation event with partial rain-on–snow occurring at the lower locations.
