Abstract:

The work is a continuation of a 2017-2018 TARP project, which focused on testing infrasound sensor technology and deployment optimization of infrasound stations for monitoring of snow avalanches in Little Cottonwood Canyon (LCC), Utah. The goals of this project were to develop software and hardware solutions to permit (cell) telemetry of synthesized infrasound data products. Toward this objective we designed, installed, maintained, and processed data from a three-station network of infrasound arrays in LCC for both the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons. The installation in 2020-2021, together with a partnership with Snowbound Solutions LCC, was an operational system designed to provide near real-time tools to forecasters in Little Cottonwood Canyon. This project concluded with a successful transfer of R&D to an applied system suitable for commercial purposes.
