Abstract
|
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 Dosdè glaciers.

Purpose
|
Bianco AWS provides data (with a 60 minute time resolution) of the following parameters:
- air temperature (°C)
- 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)
