WHAT IS SNOWPILOT?
SnowPilot is a FREE software program that allows you to collect snow pit and avalanche occurrence data onto your PC, Mac or PDA (aka. Palm Pilot). This data is then uploaded to a database on the web where others can view it and researchers can grab the raw data. It consists of three main parts:
-
Enter your snow pit or occurrence data directly onto your computer or in the field on your PDA.
-
From your personal computer (and once you HotSynch if you have a PDA), you can easily edit, print, and save your snow pit as a JPEG.
-
At your convenience you can upload all your data to a central database. From here you can search, view and print any uploaded pit (yours, as well as others) from your desktop. You can search based on state, mountain range or pit site.
- You can look at the downloaded snow pits by clicking on View Pits at the top of the page. You need Java installed for this to work.
