Supplementary data for "Detrainment and braking of snow avalanches interacting with forests"

<p>We are releasing the data as the supplementary information for our manuscript &ldquo;Detrainment and braking of snow avalanches interacting with forests&rdquo;.</p> <p>Figure 5. Data of Fig. 5. Evolution of the detrainment mass per unit of area of snow with the velocity (regular staggered forest, e= 8m).</p> <p>Figure 6. Data of Fig. 6. Evolution of the detrainment mass observed for the one tree arrangement and the fits with the tree diameter for 2 flow regimes: Case 1 and Case 2 with respectively a front velocity of12.5 m/s and 10.6 m/s, &lsquo;maximum&rsquo; refer to the maximum mass stored behind the tree and &lsquo;final&rsquo; refer to the final mass stored. A slope of 30◦, and a top wedge angle of 60&deg; (from measurements Feistl et al. (2014)) is used for the theoretical model (Eq. 8)</p> <p>Figure 8. Data of Fig. 8.

Evolution of the detrainment mass per unit of area with the forest density for different front velocities (regular staggered forest, snow properties: case 2, d = 1 m)</p> <p>Figure 10.
