Abstract
Snow avalanche are geophysical flows that pose a significant threat to life in alpine areas. To understand the behaviors of avalanche flows requires huge amount of accurate data. A developing 5.3 GHz RADAR system at UCL will give geographers a chance to find the velocities and velocity fluctuation of avalanche flow. This RADAR will be the first highresolution (1 m) instrument for these geophysical phenomena. This paper introduces this innovative RADAR system and also gives its developing status.
