Deosai (Pakistan)

Pakistan, which is characterized by the most developed irrigation system in the world for arid and semi-arid soils already subject to saturation and salinization, is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of aerosols including climate change impacts. Its fragile watersheds will be at additional risk if rainfalls, although more sporadic, become increasingly intense, causing an intensification of erosion in the western Himalayas.

Within the framework of ABC, SHARE and NEXTDATA it is proposed to set up an aerosol observatory in Karakoram, Pakistan. The rEMOTE cLIMATE sTATION (rcs) in Deosai is extremely important for understanding environmental changes and impacts at local levels in the Karakoram Mountain regions as well as at regional and global levels, furthermore, together with the station Nepal Climate Observatory at Pyramid (NCO-P), installed in Nepal near the Pyramid Laboratory-Observatory at 5,079 m asl and operative since 2006, are the unique high altitude observatories of the ABC network, representative of atmospheric background conditions.
