    Project of Strategic Interest NEXTDATA WP 1.2 - GAW-WMO climate observatories Deliverable D1.2.5 Report on the upgrade of GAW-WMO stations with Italian management and related to the SHARE project. 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.

Ver. Steiermark Band 121 S. 149-163 Graz 1991 Zur Verbreitung von Permafrost am Dachstein (Nördliche Kalkalpen, Steiermark) Von Gerhard Karl LlEB und Andreas SCHÖPFER Mit 8 Abbildungen und 3 Tabellen (im Text) Eingelangt am 3. Januar 1991 Angenommen am 10. Januar 1991 Zusammenfassung: Nach einführenden Bemerkungen über den alpinen Permafrost und einer kurzen Präsentation des Untersuchungsgebietes mit seiner Vergletscherung werden Ergebnisse von Grabungen, Quelltemperaturmessungen und Basistemperaturmessungen der winterlichen Schneedecke (BTS) diskutiert. Hiermit wird die Existenz von Permafrost erst- mals für den Dachstein nachgewiesen und, vor allem mit Hilfe der BTS-Meßergebnisse, erst- mals dessen Verbreitung für ein wenn auch kleines Areal der Nordalpen flächenhaft darge- stellt. Die Untergrenze des diskontinuierlichen Permafrosts liegt in N-Exposition bei rund 2300 m und steigt zu den Zentralalpen hin an. Summary: The distribution of permafrost in the Dachstein massive (Northern Lime- stone Alps, Styria, Austria). After some comments on alpine permafrost a short presentation of the investigated area including its glaciation is given. Then results of digging, temperature measuring of springs as well as measurements of the basical temperature of the winter snow cover are discussed. Thus the existence of permafrost in the Dachstein massive is proved for the first time. Also for the first time a map of permafrost distribution for a small area of the Northern Alps can be drawn.

  • THE NORDEND of MONTE ROSA. T. Graham Brown
    THE • VOL. LIII NOVEMBER I 942 NO. 265 THE NORDEND OF MONTE ROSA BY T. GRAHAM BROWN Substance of a lecture delivered before the Alpine Club, December g, 1941. T is curious to reflect that the ascent of the N ordend might have been one of the most popular in the Alps had the Dufourspitze been but 83 ft. lower. As things are, the mountain is relatively neglected. The usual route to its graceful summit lies off the beaten track, and more .often than not the N ordend is omitted during traverses of the Monte Rosa peaks ; parties from the Marinelli hut seem almost invariably to take the easier but more dangerous route to the Dufour­ spitze in preference to the more difficult ascent of the N ordend by its stupendous Macugnaga face ; the sensational Frontier arete, 1 which plunges to the Jagerjoch in vertical steps, has rarely been visited ; and (to the best of my knowledge) the wide and steep Weisstor (or N.E.) face of the N ordend has so far received attention from but a single climbing party. To these striking neglects may be added a fifth: on only one former occasion, and that was nearly thirty years ago, has the Nordend been the subject of a paper read before the Club.2 The event deserves to be recalled, because it was then that E. A. Broome described his expedition of 191 I, when, in the course of the day, he ascended the Macugnaga face from the Marinelli hut and descended by the ordinary route to the Riffelhaus the memorable achievement of a great climber who was in his sixty-seventh year at the time of the ascent.

North Sea], or from E. toW. as [North Sea . w. Adriatic]. The Basic Watershed, which also answers to the title [Po ~ w. Rhine], is short arid for purposes of practical convenience scarcely requires subdivision, but the distinction between the Aar basin (actually Reuss, and Limmat) and that of the Rhine itself, is of too great significance to be overlooked, to say nothing of the magnitude and importance of the Major Branch System involved. This gives two Basic Sections of very unequal dimensions, but the ., Alps being of natural origin cannot be expected to fall into more or less equal com­ partments.

  • In Memoriam 115
    IN MEMORIAM 115 • IN MEMORIAM CLAUDE WILSON 1860-1937 THE death of Claude Wilson within a few weeks of attaining his seventy-seventh birthday came as a terrible shock to his many friends. Few of us even knew that he was ill, but in the manner of his passing none can regret that there was no lingering illness. We can but quote his own words in Lord Conway's obituary: 'the best we can wish for those that we love is that they may be spared prolonged and hopeless ill health.' His brain remained clear up to the last twenty-four hours and he suffered no pain. The end occurred on October 31. With Claude Wilson's death an epoch of mountaineering comes to an end. He was of those who made guideless and Alpine history from Montenvers in the early 'nineties, of whom but Collie, Kesteven, Bradby, ~olly and Charles Pasteur still survive. That school, in which Mummery and Morse were perhaps the most prominent examples, was not composed of specialists. Its members had learnt their craft under the best Valais and Oberland guides; they were equally-proficient on rocks or on snow. It mattered little who was acting as leader in the ascent or last man in the descent. They were prepared to turn back if conditions or weather proved unfavourable. They took chances as all mountaineers are forced to do at times­ but no fatal accidents, no unfortunate incidents, marred that great page of Alpine history, a page not confined to Mont Blanc alone but distributed throughout the Western Alps.

  • When Christopher Columbus Came Ashore in 1492, He Wrote in His Diary
    When Christopher Columbus came ashore in 1492, he wrote in his diary, “This is the most beautiful land that human eyes have seen.” He would leave members of his family behind to colonize the island and would return to it after venturing throughout the Caribbean. In his will, he asked to be buried in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It was to this island a group of 22, mostly graduate nursing students and faculty from University of San Diego (www.sandiego.edu) , along with one dentist, would travel as a mission endeavor, to improve the health of school children of a rural school. Excitement ran high as the emails & gmails flashed back and forth, final arranges were gelling into a final plan. Were we actually going to the Caribbean? Over six months in the planning, and after 8 prior visits to La Republica Dominicana (Dominican Republic in English, indigenous Taino Indians called it Quisqueya), the trip was finally coming to fruition. It was decided that now was the time to include dental care in the overall plan to help the needy families far into the mountainous area near the international border with Haiti. Destination, El Cercado, to work at the school, Fe y Alegria (“Faith and Gladness”); the goal, examine students and their families in health screening as well as undertake a couple of research projects, one having to do with new techniques for diagnosing diabetes compared to traditional methods. But after having seen the severe need in oral disease, this was the year to begin inclusion of emergency dental care.

    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.
