Namche Automatic Weather Station

An Automatic Weather Station (AWS) is located in Namche (3,570 m a.s.l.) in the Khumbu Valley.

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.

Lineage

The technologically advanced AWS instrumentation is developed by the

Italian manufacturer LSI-Lastem.

The AWS guarantee continuous measurements of air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, global solar radiation, UVA radiation, wind speed and direction.

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 - Not Measured

- 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)
