Data period: 1st July - 27th September, 2014

Details:
Hourly data are generated for air temperature stations ('T-Loggers') distributed across the debris-covered Miage Glacier, Italy (45.8129°N, 6.8458°E).
Air temperatures (°C) were measured using Tinytag thermistors (accuracy +/- 0.2-0.35°C) housed in naturally ventilated Campbell MET20 / MET21 radiation shields.

Off-Glacier air temperatures (measured as above) are provided for comparison with on-glacier air temperatures.

Data are shared and compiled as part of a wider project to estimate on-glacier air temperatures from off-glacier data
