WP Coordinator: Angela Marinoni CNR-ISAC Partners: CNR-ISAC, URT Ev-K2-CNR 1 Report on upgrade carried out at GAW Global Stations “O. Vittori” at Monte Cimone and Nepal Climate Observatory Pyramid in the Himalayas 1. “O. Vittori” at Monte Cimone (2165 m, Northern Appenines) The upgrades carried out at Monte Cimone station concern aerosol, gases and radiation measurements. In particular the following measurement programs have been upgraded: - Aerosol size distribution from 10 nm to 800 nm has been completely renewed according to GAW/ACTRIS recommendations. - Aerosol scattering coefficient measured since 2007 at 525 nm has been upgraded with measurement in two additional wave lengths: 450 and 700 nm. Moreover, the following measurement programs have been newly started: - The aerosol size distribution from 500 nm to 20 µm based on time of flight was set up in July 2013. - Radiation measurement program (feasibility study). - Continuous nitrogen oxides (NOx), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) measurements suitable for remote high-mountain stations (on test at Bologna laboratories). - Continuous of (SO2) sulfur dioxide measurements is on test in Bologna laboratories, ready for installation at CMN station. - Observations of aerosol vertical profiles have been carried out at Mt. Cimone. After a test installation in October 2012, several improvements were carried out in order to guarantee continuous observations also during winter season. I. Aerosol size distribution from 10 nm to 800 nm The number size distribution of atmospheric aerosol particles is a basic, but essential parameter required in calculations of the effects of aerosols on climate, human health, and eco-systems.

  • Moüjmtaiim Operations
    L f\f¿ áfó b^i,. ‘<& t¿ ytn) ¿L0d àw 1 /1 ^ / / /This publication contains copyright material. *FM 90-6 FieW Manual HEADQUARTERS No We DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Washington, DC, 30 June 1980 MOÜJMTAIIM OPERATIONS PREFACE he purpose of this rUanual is to describe how US Army forces fight in mountain regions. Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

  • The Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria) in the Last Ten Years
    STUDIA GEOMORPHOLOGICA CARPATHO-BALCANICA VOL. XLV, 2011: 47–68 PL ISSN 0081-6434 EMIL GACHEV (BLAGOEVGRAD) INTER-ANNUAL SIZE VARIATIONS OF SNEZHNIKA GLACIERET (THE PIRIN MOUNTAINS, BULGARIA) IN THE LAST TEN YEARS Abstract: Glacierets, which are in fact embryonic forms of recent glaciation, can serve as important indicators of contemporary climate dynamics in areas where classical glaciers do not exist, such as the high mountains in Southeastern Europe. Two glacierets are located in Bulgaria’s Pirin Mountains: Snezhnika and Banski Suhodol. Snezhnika has been relatively well studied for the last 50 years, and in particular since 1994, when annual size measurements on a regular basis started. The present study focuses on the recent variations in the size of Snezhnika i.e. in the last ten years. Data about the area of the glacieret at the end of the ablation season (in autumn), which was obtained for each year by field measurements and analytical calculations, show that temperature can be considered as a major factor that drives glacieret fluctuations. At the current stage precipitation factor can not be evaluated properly due to the deficit of accurate climate information. Key words: the Pirin Mountains, glacierets, size variation, climate change, climatic factors INTRODUCTION Although small in size and volume, in many mountain areas glacierets are natu- ral features of sufficient value for studies of the dynamics of environmental proc- esses, climatic variations and change. Glacierets are small bodies of perennial ice, which are smaller than glaciers but bigger and more persistent than snow patches. Glacierets are typified by a density of close-to-bottom ice of about 0.6 to 0.8 g cm–3, presence of annual layers in the vertical cross-section, and long- term persistence — decades to centuries (G r u n e w a l d et al.

By British standards the climb might be classed just ' very difficult., Apart from these two climbs I was only able to take part in two other 'big expeditions : a second traverse of the Corno Piccolo S. ridge led by one of the L.R.D.G. and the ascent of Torrione Cambi by the -Camino Iannetta and central peak of the Corno Grande, led by J ames Joyce. This was our last expedition and to me at all events it was severe. The route followed the s. face of the Corno Grande to the Forchetta del Ca:lderone. Here the serious work started and the ·next 300 ft. took fo~r hours. The lower part of the chimney ·was ·steep ice up which steps had to be cut. Hal~way up the gradient ·eased off to be followed by a perpendicular, if not overhanging section. 'This latter part was severe. From the summit of the Torrione Cambi the central summit was gained quite easily.

    Image: Sentinel-1A captures Azore islands 9 October 2015 km from the coast ejected large quantities of lava and ash, forming an islet that later became connected to Faial island by an isthmus. Unique among the islands of Azores, São Jorge is uncharacteristically long and slender, and so susceptible to ocean erosion. The island is 55 km in length, with a mountain range forming its backbone. At 1053 m, Pico da Esperança is its highest peak. The island has an area of 246 sq km, with an obvious difference in the relief between the western and eastern sections: the western coast is lined with cliffs, while the east is smoother. Similarly, the northern coast has sharp cliffs, while the southern side is less inclined.

  • Iucn Summary Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Wilderness Park
    WORLD HERITAGE NOMINATION - IUCN SUMMARY TATSHENSHINI-ALSEK PROVINCIAL WILDERNESS PARK (CANADA) (Extension to existing KluanelWrangell/St. Elias/Glacier Bay Site) Summary prepared by IUCNIWCMC (March 1994) based on the original nomination submitted by the Government of Canada. This original and all documents presented in support of this nomination will be available for consultation at the meetings of the Bureau and the Committee. 1. LOCATION Lies in the extreme northwestern corner of British Columbia, and is wedged between the Yukon Territory to the north and the Alaska Panhandle to the west and south. Connects the Glacier Bay and KluanelWrangell/St. Elias World Heritage site. 2. JURIDICAL DATA Established in September 1993 under the provisions of the B.C. Park Act. The park is administered by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, although the area is subject to a land claim by the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations. 3. IDENTIFICATION Size is 958,OOOha of almost undisturbed wilderness. The park forms an important link between Wrangell-St Elias National Park and Preserve, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska, and Kluane National Park Reserve, Yukon, all of which have World Heritage status. The park contains: Mount Fairweather, which at 4,663 meters, represents the highest point in British Columbia; the largest non-polar ice-cap in the world; over 350 valley glaciers; and an estimated 31 surge-type glaciers. The Tatshenshini-Alsek rivers and their wide U-shaped valleys are prominent natural features. The park contains 45 of the 600 rare vascular plant species found in British Columbia, including Alaska Nagoon berry, Fragile sedge and Wedge-leaved primrose.
