IMIS measuring network

The snow and wind stations are usually situated close to each other and measure the key weather data required for assessing the avalanche danger. ## IMIS snow stations Snow stations are located on wind-protected flat terrain. The snowpack model SNOWPACK calculates the layers and properties of the snowpack throughout the winter for each of the IMIS snow stations. The following variables are measured or simulated in the standard programme of IMIS snow stations and are available in this dataset: - Snow depth - 24-hour new snow (SNOWPACK simulation) - Air and surface temperature - Wind speed and direction - Relative humidity - Reflected shortwave radiation - Ground temperature - Snow temperature 25 cm, 50 cm and 100 cm above the ground ## IMIS wind stations Wind stations are generally situated at higher altitudes on exposed summits or ridges.
