On-Glacier Air Temperatures for Tsanteleina Glacier, 2015

Tsanteleina_Glacier_Air_Temperature_Data_2015.xlsx<br> %------------------------------------------%<br> Data Generated on 13th May 2022 Data Curator: Dr. Thomas Shaw (Swiss Federal Institute, WSL, Switzerland) Data Provider(s): Dr. Thomas Shaw (Swiss Federal Institute, WSL, Switzerland) [e-mail]<br> Prof. Benjamin Brock (Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK) [e-mail] Data period: 19th June - 15th September, 2015 <br> Details:<br> Hourly data are generated for air temperature stations ('T-Loggers') distributed across Tsanteleina Glacier, Italy (45.4812°N, 7.0618°E).<br> Air temperatures (°C) were measured using Tinytag thermistors (accuracy +/- 0.2-0.35°C) housed in naturally ventilated Campbell MET20 / MET21 radiation shields. Some stations fell over at times during the summer season due to differential ablation and tripod stability.<br> Filtering of this data therefore leaves gaps (NaNs) for various stations at different times of the observation period. Off-Glacier air temperatures in the region can be accessed from the platform of the Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta:<br> https://presidi2.regione.vda.it/str_dataview_station/3060.

Data are shared and compiled as part of a wider project to estimate on-glacier air temperatures from off-glacier data<br> For more details on the 'TEMPEST' project, visit: https://tempestglacier.com/ <br>
