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

The second italian permanent station was installed on August 14, 2007, on Dosde' Glacier. 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.

Geographical coordinates:
- Latitude: 46deg 23' 33.944'' N
- Longitude: 10deg 13' 3.359'' E
Dosde' 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)
