    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.

  • SNOWCRAFT and AVALANCHES. Gerald Seligman
    • . SNOWCRAFT AND AVALANCHES energy and we regained our sleeping qu.arters. after twelve hours. 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. For th~ descent we roped =down using a very rickety piton _for the bottom section. · · _There are many other magnificent ~limbs in this area: the traverse of all three peaks of the Corno Grande done by Douglas Side, E. toW., in fourteen hours from the hotel ~ . the Tre Spalle or W. ridge of the ~ Corno ·Piccolo which was done twice, I think, by James Joyce­ probably one of the finest climbs in the district ; 8 .S .E. arete of the :Corno Grande which should only be attempted under summer condi­ tions and defeated a strong American party, and many more climbs of all shades of difficulty.

  • Hoyas Hidrográficas De Chile: Segunda Región
    HOYAS HIDROGRÁFICAS DE CHILE: SEGUNDA REGIÓN REALIZADO POR: HANS NIEMEYER F. HOVA DEL RlO LOA La hoya hidrográfica del río Loa~ con una superf! cie tota~'de 33 570 km2 , se desarrolla en el tercio norte de la IIa R~ gión de Chile, entre latitudes extremas 20Q52' y 22Q57' L.S. ylongit~ des 68QOO' y 7oQ02' L.o. El río Loa nace en la falda norte del Vn. Mi­ ño~ en los Ojos del Hiño, casi en los límites entre la la y IIa Regio­ nes de Chile, en 21Q15' L.S. y 70Q L.O~ Su longitud total se acerca a 440 km. A pesar de su extensa hoya, los recursos h!dricos provienen de la cuenca alta que comprende alrededor del 20% de la su~ perficie total. Con curso aproximadamente norte-sur~ el Loa reco­ rre casi 150 km en un profundo cañón de altura variable, desde su nací miento hasta el oasis de Chiu ~hiu, pueblo que se levanta en su margen izquierda. En este trayecto recibe sus dos tributarios más importantes que le caen del este: el río San Pedro o Inacaliri y el río Salado. En Chiu Chiu dobla su curso sensiblemente hacia el oeste para alcanzar en un recorrido de 115 km el punto denominado Chacance. En él se le reúne por la derecha el río San Salvador. En Chacance,el Loa toma franca di= recci6n sur-norte hasta fertilizar el oasis de Quillagua, despu~s de una trayectoria de 80 km. A partir de Quillagua el Loa describe un gran arco y luego desemboca en el Pacífico~ en Caleta Huel~n, despu~8 de trasponer el macizo costero en un tajo profundo~ de más de 500 m de al­ tura.

  • 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.

"The Massif du Sancy alone forms a world: a world born several million years ago". François Graveline. FIRST VOLCANIC PHASE It began 20 million years ago, in the Miocene (tertiary era). Almost all types of current volcanoes have succeeded one another, which is what gives it its strato-volcano type structure. The Massif du Sancy is the most complex volcanic region of the Massif Central, it also has the greatest diversity of sites. There is such a close connection between the topography and the geological constitution, that one can not understand one without the other.
