SNOWPACK model

SNOWPACK is a scientific computer model used to simulate how snow accumulates, changes, and melts over time on the ground. It helps scientists and safety experts understand snowpack properties like density, temperature, and strength, which are important for avalanche forecasting and water resource management. The model considers factors like weather conditions, snow layers, and temperature variations to predict the snowpack’s behavior. By providing detailed insights into snow stability and evolution, SNOWPACK aids in making informed decisions related to safety, skiing, and water supplies.
