Abstract This paper presents the application of a pulsed Doppler radar for the measurement of dynamic properties of snow and ice avalanches. The instrument was developed and built by the Institute of Communications and Wave Propagation, Technical University Graz, and is operated by the Austrian Institute for Avalanche and Torrent Research (AIATR), Innsbruck. The data acquired by this radar during field campaigns are used to verify and optimize avalanche models and simulation tools. As well as describing the radar’s technical principle, how the dynamic parameters are measured and presented to the user and how these data can be used to accomplish the determination of avalanche velocity and runout distance, the paper deals with the participation of the radar in a successful full-scale snow-avalanche experiment in Ryggfonn, Norway, and evaluates the collected data. This measurement campaign was a joint experiment by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, Oslo, and AIATR.
