## Description

This MCP server provides specialized analytical tools for snowpack stability assessment. It uses a heat conduction model to calculate the vertical temperature gradient via `get_temperature_gradient`. Users can evaluate the likelihood of dangerous crystal metamorphism using `assess_weak_layer_risk`, forecast stability based on solar and cloud conditions with `get_stability_forecast`, and determine how diurnal cycles affect the profile using `get_diurnal_profile_impact`.

## Tools

### assess_weak_layer_risk
Evaluates the risk of crystal metamorphism (faceting) based on the temperature profile

### get_diurnal_profile_impact
Determines how the time of day influences the current temperature gradient

### get_stability_forecast
Provides a high-level stability forecast by incorporating environmental forcing factors

### get_temperature_gradient
Calculates the vertical temperature gradient within the snowpack

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the temperature gradient for a 100cm snowpack with a surface temperature of -5°C and a base temperature of -15°C?
```

**Response:** 
```
The temperature gradient is -0.1 °C/m.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is there a high risk of weak layer formation with a gradient of 2.5 °C/m in 50cm of snow?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the risk level is High due to the steep gradient in a relatively shallow snowpack.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How will solar radiation affect stability if the surface is -10°C, base is -12°C, depth is 80cm, radiation is 0.8, and cloud cover is 10%?
```

**Response:** 
```
The stability status is Stable, as increased solar radiation typically warms the surface and reduces the temperature gradient.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How is the temperature gradient calculated?**
The `get_temperature_gradient` tool calculates the rate of temperature change per meter by dividing the difference between surface and base temperatures by the total snow depth.

**Can I predict weak layer formation?**
Yes, the `assess_weak_layer_risk` tool evaluates the risk of kinetic metamorphism and facet formation based on the current temperature profile.

**Does solar radiation affect the results?**
Yes, the `get_stability_forecast` tool incorporates solar radiation intensity to determine how energy input modifies snowpack stability.
