Slope Aspect Effect

Slope Aspect Effect MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculates snow stability and solar/wind exposure based on terrain aspect.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools to analyze how terrain orientation affects snow conditions. It calculates sun exposure hours using get_sun_exposure, determines wind-driven snow redistribution with get_wind_loading_effect, and assesses overall snowpack risk via predict_snow_stability. It also identifies terrain-induced shading through get_terrain_shadow_status to provide a complete picture of slope environmental stressors.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

get_sun_exposure

Calculates how many hours a specific slope receives direct sunlight

get_terrain_shadow_status

Determines if a specific slope is currently in the shadow of a neighboring feature

get_wind_loading_effect

Determines how much snow is being redistributed onto the slope by the wind

predict_snow_stability

Provides a prediction of snowpack stability based on environmental stressors

See how to talk to your AI agent using Slope Aspect Effect.

How much sun exposure will a south-facing slope (180 degrees) at 45 degrees latitude get in winter at noon with 10% cloud cover?

The south-facing slope will receive 6.5 hours of direct sunlight.

Is the snow stable if there are 4 hours of sun, 5 units of wind loading, and the temperature is -2 degrees?

The snow stability is Moderate.

Will a slope facing 270 degrees be leeward if the wind is blowing from 90 degrees at 20 km/h?

Yes, the slope is in a leeward position with a loading intensity of 7.2.

By using `predict_snow_stability`, you can assess how solar radiation and wind loading contribute to snowpack instability, helping to identify high-risk areas.
