Les causes [de déclenchement d'une avalanche] proviennent le plus souvent de conditions météorologiques datant de plusieurs jours, voire de plusieurs semaines, ces conditions ayant entraîné la formation de couches fragiles, responsables d'une mauvaise liaison entre les couches supérieures et le reste du manteau neigeux. [...] Conséquence de l'interaction de nombreux paramètres, dont certains sont difficilement quantifiables ou encore mal connus, le risque d'avalanche n'est pas mesurable. Son estimation ne peut donc s'envisager que dans le cadre d'une expertise humaine. Une fois fixées les échelles de travail dans l'espace et dans le temps, le prévisionniste avalanche base son expertise sur un ensemble de mesures et d'observations effectuées sur et dans le manteau neigeux. 5, record 1, French, - pr%C3%A9visionniste%20avalanche

The LND is closest to the mandatory level of 500 mb, thus upper level vorticity is usually plotted on this prog.
