The RSnowAUT (Remote Sensing of Snow in Austria) project develops an integrated avalanche monitoring system based on satellite remote sensing data for Austria. The presentation covers the methodology, data sources, and applications of satellite-derived snow and avalanche monitoring across Austrian alpine regions. This approach enables large-scale, cost-effective monitoring to support avalanche forecasting services and enhance safety measures in mountainous areas. The project represents a collaboration of multiple Austrian research institutions and operational services working together to advance avalanche monitoring capabilities through modern Earth observation technology.
The RSnowAUT project represents a significant advancement in avalanche monitoring technology for Austria, utilizing cutting-edge satellite data to provide comprehensive coverage and real-time insights for avalanche forecasting and prevention.
