SHARE (Stations at High Altitude for Research on the Environment) Network

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 Dosde' glaciers.

Geographical coordinates:
- Latitude: 45deg 50' 50"
- Longitude: 06deg 55' 58"Bianco AWS provides data (with a 60 minute time resolution) of the following parameters:
- air temperature (degC)
- relative humidity (%)
- atmospheric pressure (hPa)
- snow depth (m)
- incoming shortwave radiation (W/m2)
- outcoming shortwave radiation (W/m2)
- incoming longwave radiation (W/m2)
- outcoming longwave radiation (W/m2)

2007年12月17日，第三座意大利永久自动气象站（Automatic Weather Station, AWS）安装于巨人冰川（比安科山群）。该站采集的观测数据有助于深化对区域微气象参数、冰缘及冰川环境的认知。
此外，该站设于海拔3430米处，可获取冰川上部热环境以及入射、出射能量通量的相关观测数据。
可将该站数据与福尔尼冰川、多斯德冰川上布设的自动气象站（AWS）观测数据开展对比分析。

地理坐标：
- 纬度：45°50′50″
- 经度：06°55′58″

比安科自动气象站可提供时间分辨率为60分钟的以下观测参数：
- 气温（℃）
- 相对湿度（%）
- 大气压力（百帕，hPa）
- 积雪深度（m）
- 入射短波辐射（W/m²）
- 出射短波辐射（W/m²）
- 入射长波辐射（W/m²）
- 出射长波辐射（W/m²）
