Mt. Bianco – Osram (Gigante Glacier, Italy)

The third Italian permanent automatic weather station has been installed on December 17, 2007 on Gigante Glacier ( Mt. Bianco’s group). Data collected by this station permit to improve knowledge both on local micro-meteorological parameters and on periglacial and glacial conditions.

Moreover, this station located at 3430 m asl permits to collect data on above glacial thermal conditions and incoming and outcoming energetic fluxes.

Data collected by this station can be compared to the AWSs installed on Forni and Dosdè glaciers.

- Latitude: 45° 50' 50"

- Longitude: 06° 55' 58"

Lineage

The automatic weather stations (AWS) for monitor meteorological conditions are currently included in the SHARE network.

An automatic weather station (AWS) is defined as a “meteorological station at which observations are made and transmitted automatically” (WMO, 1992a).

In particular, in the framework of the SHARE project for all parameters, the data has been visually checked, looking for extremely and unusual low/high values and/or periods with constant values.
