In the summer of 2007 was placed on Dosdè Glacier (Upper Valtellina, Group Cima Piazzi) a new automatic weather station (AWS) which will provide important data on the evolution of high mountains. This station located at 2850 m asl permits to collect data on above glacial thermal conditions and incoming and outcoming energetic fluxes.This automatic weather station represent the highest Lombardy permanent station on glacier and its data can be comparable to those collected by AWS Forni in order to verify the effects of climate change on glacial size and micro-meteorological parameters.
At the Forni AWS the DMA570 Lsi-Lastem Thermohygrometer is mounted on a 2 m pole. It is a probe for measuring air temperature and air relative humidity with replaceable sensitive element for simplify calibration and maintenance.

At the AWS Forni station the CombiSD DNA022 Lsi-Lastem combined wind speed-direction sensor is mounted on a 5m pole.
On the Forni glacier takes place in 2005 the first permanent part of the Share for the quantification of energy flows and micrometeorological conditions. His study is part of the research resource cryosphere, as part of Share Stelvio: an open-air laboratory for the study of climate and environmental changes at high altitude in the Stelvio National Park. Here is located the station Share Ice "Forni 1" at 2700 meters above sea level on the surface of the tongue of glacial ablation and will be located here in 2011 the Box tool for the surveys within the research line of Air Resource Share Stelvio.

On the Forni glacier a Campbell SR-50 sonic ranger is also present to measure snow level.
