## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for snowpack analysis. It allows AI agents to calculate fundamental density using `get_sample_density`, determine the liquid water content via `calculate_water_equivalent`, and assess structural pressure with `calculate_snow_load`. For complex snowpack profiles, `analyze_stratified_layer` accounts for temperature, crystal types, and compaction factors to provide a complete environmental assessment.

## Tools

### analyze_stratified_layer
Evaluates a specific layer within a snowpack by accounting for environmental factors

### calculate_snow_load
Determines the weight per unit area exerted by a specific snow layer

### calculate_water_equivalent
Determines the depth of liquid water contained within a snow layer

### get_sample_density
Calculates the fundamental density of a single physical snow sample

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the density for a snow sample weighing 50g with a volume of 40cm³.
```

**Response:** 
```
The density of the snow sample is 1250 kg/m³.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the water equivalent for a 2-meter layer with a density of 300 kg/m³?
```

**Response:** 
```
The water equivalent for this layer is 600 mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Analyze a layer with 400 kg/m³ density, 0.5m depth, -5°C temperature, dendritic crystals, and a 1.2 compaction factor.
```

**Response:** 
```
The adjusted density is 480 kg/m³, the water equivalent is 240 mm, and the total load is 240 Pa.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the water equivalent of a snow layer?**
You can use the `calculate_water_equivalent` tool by providing the density in kg/m³ and the layer depth in meters.

**Can this tool account for different snow crystal types?**
Yes, the `analyze_stratified_layer` tool accepts crystal types like dendritic or granular to adjust density and compaction calculations.

**What is the purpose of the snow load calculation?**
The `calculate_snow_load` tool determines the pressure in Pascals exerted by a snow layer, which is essential for assessing structural risks.
