Precipitation Intensity Factor (P.I. factor)
Also:
Index of possible hazard due to direct action soft slab avalanches. Use average P.I.
(average P.I.) x (No. hrs wind above critical level) (average P.I. of 0.15 in/hr.; High winds for 10 hrs. = P.I. factor of 1.50. Normally a P.I. factor over 1.00 indicates high avalanche hazard.
