Given a unit in a wilderness environment and necessary equipment and supplies, apply the principles of mountain safety, to prevent death or injury per the references. (FMST.07.18) ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE. 1. Without the aid of references, and given the acronym "BE SAFE MARINE", list in writing the 12 principles of mountain safety, in accordance with the references. (FMST.07.18a) OUTLINE. 1. P LANNING AND PREPARATION. (FMST.07.18a) As in any military operation, planning and preparation constitute the keys to success. The following principles will help the leader conduct a safe and efficient operation in any type of mountainous environment. We find this principle in the acronym "BE SAFE MARINE". Remember the key: Think about what each letter means and apply this in any type of environment. B - Be aware of the group's ability. E - Evaluate terrain and weather constantly. S - Stay as a group. A - Appreciate time requirements. F - Find shelter before storms if required. E - Eat plenty and drink lots of liquids. M - Maintain proper clothing and equipment. 1 A - Ask locals about conditions. R - Remember to keep calm and think. I - Insist on emergency rations and kits. N - Never forget accident procedures. E - Energy is saved when warm and dry. a. B E AWARE OF THE GROUP'S ABILITY. It is essential that the leader evaluates the individual abilities of his men and uses this as the basis for his planning. In his evaluation, the leader must include the group's overall physical conditioning, and the consideration of change in climate and how long the unit has had to acclimatize. (1) Me ntal attitude of your group. Is morale high? How much tactical training has the group had in a particular type of terrain? (2) T echnical aspect of your group. Have they been on skis, snowshoes, etc.? (3) I ndividual skills. At this point, you must choose who is most proficient at the individual skills that will be required for your mission, navigation techniques, security, call for fire, rope installations, track plans, bivouac site selection, skijoring, etc. b. E VALUATE TERRAIN AND WEATHER CONSTANTLY. (1) T errain. During the planning stages of your mission, the leader must absorb as much information as possible on the surrounding terrain and key terrain features involved in your area of operation. Considerations to any obstacles must be clearly planned for. Will you need such things as fixed ropes, rope bridges, climbing gear, etc? (a) Stress careful movement in particularly dangerous areas, such as loose rock and steep terrain. (b) Always know your position. Knowing where you are on your planned route is important. (2) Weathe r. Mountain weather can be severe and variable. Drastic weather changes can occur in the space of a few hours with the onset of violent storms, reduced visibility, and extreme changes. In addition to obtaining current weather data, the leader must plan for the unexpected "worst case". During an operation he must diagnose weather signs continually to be able to foresee possible weather changes. (a) Constantly evaluate the conditions. Under certain conditions it may be advisable to reevaluate your capabilities. Pushing ahead with a closed mind could spell disaster for the mission and the unit. 1- 2 c. STA Y AS A GROUP. Individuals acting on their own are at a great disadvantage in this environment. (1) Give the unit adequate rest halts based upon the terrain and elevation, physical abilities of the unit, combat load and mission requirements. (2) Remember to use the buddy system in your group. (3) Maintain a steady pace so that it will allow accomplishment of the mission when all members of the unit reach the objective area. d. AP PRECIATE TIME REQUIREMENTS. Efficient use of available time is vital. The leader must make an accurate estimate of the time required for his operation based on terrain, weather, unit size, abilities, and on the enemy situation. This estimate must take into account the possibility of unexpected emergencies and allow sufficient leeway to make unplanned bivouacs in severe conditions. (1) Time-Distance Formula (TDF). This formula is designed to be a guideline and should not be considered as the exact amount of time required for your movement. Furthermore, this formula is for use in ideal conditions: 3 kmph + 1 hour for every 300 meters ascent and/or + 1 hour for every 800 meters descent. NOTE: The TDF is made for troops on foot in the summertime or troops on skis in the wintertime. If on foot in deep snow, multiply the total time by 2.0. (2) Route Planning. Route cards are not to be used in place of an overlay, but as a tool to be used in route planning. Overlays/Route cards should contain the following information at the minimum: 1- 3 Unit Designation: Unit Commander. Number of personnel. Inclusive dates and times of movement. Grid coordinates of each checkpoint and bivouac. Map references. Azimuth and distances for each leg. Elevation gain/loss per leg. Description of the ground. ETA and ETD. ROUTE CARD UNIT UNIT NUMBER OF DATE AND MAP I.D. COMMANDER PERSONNEL TIME REFERENCE LEG AZM DIST GRID ETA ETD ELEVATION DESCRIPTION (3) As in any military operation, route planning and execution are of vital importance. Prior to departure, the unit commander must submit a route card or patrol overlay to his higher headquarters and keep a duplicate copy for himself. This preplanned route should be followed as closely as possible, taking into account changes based on the tactical situation. In non-tactical situations, the preplanned route should be followed to reduce search and rescue time in an emergency situation. e. F IND SHELTER BEFORE STORMS IF REQUIRED. Under certain conditions, inclement weather can provide tactical advantages to the thinking unit commander, but by the same token it can reduce the efficiency of a unit to nil if an incorrect evaluation of the situation is made. (1) Bivou ac. If the group decision is to bivouac, then it's vital that we know the principles for an unplanned bivouac. 1- 4 (a) Unpl anned bivouac. The principles and techniques discussed here apply both to unplanned and tolerated bivouacs. In any survival situation, especially in a mountainous environment, the most immediate danger is from exposure to the elements. Being lost will not directly kill an individual. Starvation takes time, but hypothermia can manifest itself in a matter of hours resulting in death. Adhering to the following principles will give an individual the best chance to spend a relatively safe bivouac with the prospect of continued effort toward mission accomplishment. 1. Ma ke shelter. The requirements for expedient shelters and the building procedures will be covered in another section. The basic requirement for protection from the elements is essential. 2. Ke ep warm. The retention of body heat is of vital importance; any action in which body heat is lost should be avoided. The following points should be considered: a. Adequate shelter. b. Insulation from the ground using branches, a rucksack, etc. c. Wear extra clothing. d. Use extra equipment for insulation. e. Produce external heat while trying to conserve fuel for future use. 3. Ke ep dry. Being wet causes the loss of body heat 24 times faster than when dry. Adequate protection from the elements is of prime importance to prevent the onset of hypothermia. f. EAT PROPERLY AND DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS. (1) F ood. The human body can be compared to a furnace, which runs on food to produce energy (warmth). By planning the consumption of food to suit the specific situation, adequate nutrition and extra warmth can be supplied. (2) Water . The intake of adequate amounts of water will maintain the body in proper working order. Danger from dehydration is as high in mountain regions as in hot dry areas. Loss of liquids is easily seen and felt in hot climates; whereas in the mountains, the loss of body fluids is much less noticeable. High water intake, at least 6 quarts per day when in bivouac, 8 quarts per day when active, will help to prevent dehydration. g. MAINTAIN PROPER CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT. (1) Clothing 1- 5 (a) Our clothing has to perform an important function in our mission; therefore, when choosing our clothing we have to take into account some essential requirements. 1. Protection against wind and rain. 2. Layered and easily adjustable. 3. Lightweight and durable. (b) To help us remember how to maintain and wear our clothing, we use the acronym, "COLD". C - Keep clothing Clean.

  • PRECIPITATION What Does a 60 Percent Chance of Precipitation Mean?
    PRECIPITATION What does a 60 percent chance of precipitation mean? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/canada-weather-forecast-no-50-per-cent-forecast-1.4206067 The probability of (PoP) does not mean • the percent of time precipitation will be observed over the area; or • the percentage of meteorologists who believe precipitation will fall! The most common definition among meteorologists is the probability that at least one one-hundredth inch of liquid-equivalent precipitation will fall in a single spot. Here’s a good way to grasp a PoP of 60 percent: If we had ten tomorrows with identical weather conditions, any given point would receive rain on six (60 percent) of those days. And rain would not fall on four of those days — on any given point. Remember: this PoP is a forecast for 10 potential tomorrows, not a forecast for the next 10 days! Although this may be confusing, weather forecasters have no problem thinking of tomorrow’s weather as a group of potential tomorrows. One thing you can take to the bank: as the PoP increases, precipitation grows more likely. In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity. So many types… Rain Sleet Drizzle Hail Snow Graupel Thundersnow Fog and mist are technically SUSPENSIONS and not precipitation SYMBOLS RAINSHOWERS are identified on weather maps as a dot over a triangle Heavier rain as a series of dots, more when rain is heavier Rain - and other forms of precipitation - occur when Basically… warm moist air cools and condensation occurs.

  • Analysis of Thundersnow Storms Over Northern Colorado
    DECEMBER 2015 K U M J I A N A N D D E I E R L I N G 1469 Analysis of Thundersnow Storms over Northern Colorado MATTHEW R. KUMJIAN Department of Meteorology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania WIEBKE DEIERLING Research Applications Laboratory, National Center for Atmospheric Research,* Boulder, Colorado (Manuscript received 13 January 2015, in final form 12 August 2015) ABSTRACT Lightning flashes during snowstorms occur infrequently compared to warm-season convection. The rarity of such thundersnow events poses an additional hazard because the lightning is unexpected. Because cloud electrification in thundersnow storms leads to relatively few lightning discharges, studying thundersnow events may offer insights into mechanisms for charging and possible thresholds required for lightning dis- charges. Observations of four northern Colorado thundersnow events that occurred during the 2012/13 winter are presented. Four thundersnow events in one season strongly disagrees with previous climatologies that used surface reports, implying thundersnow may be more common than previously thought. Total lightning information from the Colorado Lightning Mapping Array and data from conterminous United States light- ning detection networks are examined to investigate the snowstorms’ electrical properties and to compare them to typical warm-season thunderstorms. Data from polarimetric WSR-88Ds near Denver, Colorado, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, are used to reveal the storms’ microphysical structure and determine operationally relevant signatures related to storm electrification. Most lightning occurred within convective cells containing graupel and pristine ice. However, one flash occurred in a stratiform snowband, apparently triggered by a tower. Depolarization streaks were observed in the radar data prior to the flash, indicating electric fields strong enough to orient pristine ice crystals.

Księcia Janusza 64, 01-452 Warsaw, Poland 7 3 Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Zonas Áridas (CEAZA), La Serena, Chile 8 4 University of Maine, Orono, USA 9 Correspondance to: L. I. Nicholson ([email protected]) 10 Abstract. Penitentes are a common feature of snow and ice surfaces in the semi-arid Andes where very low 11 humidity, in conjunction with persistently cold temperatures and sustained high solar radiation favour their 12 development during the ablation season. As penitentes occur in arid, low-latitude basins where cryospheric water 13 resources are relatively important to local water supply, and atmospheric water vapor is very low, there is potential 14 value in understanding how penitentes might influence the runoff and atmospheric humidity. 15 The complex surface morphology of penitentes makes it difficult to measure the mass loss occurring within them 16 because the (i) spatial distribution of surface lowering within a penitente field is very heterogeneous, and (ii) steep 17 walls and sharp edges of the penitentes limit the line of sight view for surveying from fixed positions and (iii) 18 penitentes themselves limit access for manual measurements.
