The meteorological station is part of a network of 6 Automatic Weather Stations (AWSs) installed over the past 10 years in the area of Sagarmatha National Park. The network takes hourly measurements of seven standard parameters: temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction, global radiation, total precipitation. Purpose Meteo-climatic observations in this area are very important for the study of the environmental changes that are affecting this ecosystem, helping the scientific community to improve the prediction of the evolution of this environmental phenomena and modification.

At an AWS, the instrument measurements are read out or received by a central data-acquisition unit. The AWS guarantee continuous measurements of air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, global solar radiation, UVA radiation, wind speed and direction. The technologically advanced AWS instrumentation is developed by the Italian manufacturer LSI-Lastem. The AWS is equipped with this sensors: - Station pressure 2m CX115P Lsi-Lastem (Italy) - Air Temperature 2m DMA570 Lsi-Lastem (Italy)) - Dew point - (2 m derived) - Relative humidity 2 m DMA570 Lsi-Lastem (Italy) - Specific humidity (2 m derived) - Wind speed 5m DNA022 Lsi-Lastem (Italy) - Wind direction 5m DNA022 Lsi-Lastem (Italy) - U wind component (derived) (5 m) - V wind component (derived) (5 m) - Precipitation - 1.5m DQA035 Lsi-Lastem (Italy) - Snow Depth SLU4/20 Micros (Italy) - Incoming shortwave radiation – 2 m CM3 Kipp&Zonen (The Netherlands) - Outgoing shortwave radiation - 2 m CM3 Kipp&Zonen (The Netherlands) - Incoming longwave radiation - 2 m CG3 Kipp&Zonen (The Netherlands) - Outgoing longwave radiation - 2 m CG3 Kipp&Zonen (The Netherlands) - Net radiation (derived) (2 m) No conditions apply
