Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of jet roofs as wind deflectors to prevent and reduce snow cornice and cushion formation. As wind accumulates on the lee slope of mountains, it can lead to dangerous avalanches. By deploying a jet roof, wind is redirected down the slope and kept from forming snow deposits. The book details a mathematical model created by the author to help predict the size and shape of jet roofs needed to most effectively alter wind patterns and reduce the risk of avalanches. Jet roof placement, length, and angle relative to the slope are all considered in this model. The author concludes that jet roofs are valuable assets in avalanche control when properly configured, offering a valuable design tool for their implementation.
