The meteorological stations are located in Lukla (2,660 m a.s.l.), Namche (3,570 m a.s.l.) Pheriche (4,260 m a.s.l.) and Lobuche, nearby the Pyramid Laboratory-Observatory (5,050 m a.s.l.). The network takes hourly measurements of seven standard parameters: temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction, global radiation, total precipitation. Pheriche station is involved in the project of international monitoring CEOP. The main goal is to contribute to the study of climate change impacts and adaptation strategies. The project also aims to make new and more complete information on climate changes and their local, regional and global consequences available to governments and international agencies.

This station is reference point within the CEOP-High Elevation (CEOP-HE) initiative, promoted in order to investigate possible changes of hydrological and energy cycles in high elevation regions and to better elucidate the role of mountains within the climate system from a local to global scales. Periche AWS provides data (with a 60 minute time resolution) of the following parameters: - air temperature (°C) - total precipitation (mm) - relative humidity (%) - atmospheric pressure (hPa) - wind speed (m/s) - wind direction (degree) - global solar radiation (W/m2) No conditions apply
