Meteorological parameters
The AWS (Automatic Weather Station) RW has been installed, in Uganda, on July 18, 2006 and it is now part of a network of three stations located in the Rwenzori National Park characterized by an alpine highland of glaciers, snowfields and lakes with distinct vegetation zones, several endangered species and the richest mountain flora in Africa other than a very unusual cloud forest (UNEP, WCMC, 2006).
This AWS provides continuous measurements of the seven standard meteorological parameters: air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, global solar radiation and total precipitation.
