Operational Snow Avalanche Detection Using Sentinel-1

Prime company: NORTHERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE (NORUT) (NO)

NORUT has developed an automatic avalanche detection method within a pre-operational processing chain that uses Sentinel-1 data to detect avalanches. This system is being tested in Northern Norway and is used operationally during winter 2017-2018 with the Norwegian Avalanche Warning Service. The goal of this project is to develop our avalanche detection processing chain to …
