Avalanche Friction

Avalanche Friction is a physical parameter in snow avalanche dynamics that quantifies the resistance to flow along the basal interface of a moving snow avalanche, distinguishing it from internal deformation processes by characterizing the interaction between the avalanche and the underlying terrain.
