The goal of SnopViz is to interactively generate a variety of plots from either measured or simulated snow profiles including auxiliary data (such as meteorological time series). This works in a web browser either online or offline. This software is available under GNU Affero General Public License, see www.gnu.org.

Four examples can be visualized online:

• A single snow profile [CAAML file]

• A timeline of simulated SNOWPACK profiles [PRO file] or a simplified view of it (as used by the Swiss Avalanche Warning Service).

• A timeseries of meteorological forcing, fluxes, snow temperatures, etc. can be visualized [SMET file].

After having launched SnopViz, you can visualize any of your own files provided the format is one of the above.
