In the framework of Ev-K2-CNR / SHARE (Stations at High Altitude for Research on the Environment) project the first permanent Automatic Weather Station (AWS) has been installed in Uganda, on July 18, 2006 in the western part of the Stanley Plateau, the biggest Rwenzori glacial mass. The Project was carried out during the celebration of Mt. Ruwenzori first ascent by Duke of Abruzzi in 1906 . This station has the same technical characteristics of the Ev-K2- CNR networks located in the high altitude regions of Himalaya and Karakorum. The station records continuously measurements of the seven meteorological standard parameters: air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, global solar radiation and total precipitation. The Rwenzori observations will permit to study physical and dynamical processes at Africa high elevations in the framework of SHARE and GEWEX-CEOP HE programs to improve our understanding of variability and change in hydrological and energy cycles and their role in the climate system.
