Glide-snow avalanche activity on Dorfberg, Davos, Switzerland

This dataset includes the processed data of the glide-snow avalanche activity and dynamics on Dorfberg (Davos, Switzerland) covering seasons 2008/09 to 2021/22. This dataset was described in the research article:

Fees, A., van Herwijnen A., Altenbach, M., Lombardo, M., Schweizer, J.: Glide-snow avalanche characteristics at different time-scales extracted from time-lapse photography, Annals of Glaciology, 91

We extracted the dynamics of opening glide-cracks and the glide-snow avalanche activity from time-lapse photographs. Glide-snow avalanches were separated into surface and interface events using the liquid water content which was simulated with SNOWPACK at 10 virtual stations on Dorfberg.
