Col
Contributing Station Information
Other Networks to Which This Contributing Station Belongs
- Col station is a part of SOERE CRYOBS-CLIM (https://cryobsclim.osug.fr/), a long term observation system for research and experimentation on Cryosphere labelised by Allenvi (http://www.allenvi.fr/) - in short labelised by French Government.
- It is also a part of the International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology (INARCH), a cross-cut project of the GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (http://www.usask.ca/inarch/research_basins.php).
Measurement Methods Used
- WMO Technical Regulations
Other relevant measurement method documents:
Since no standards in the aeolian process measurements exists, it is difficult to compare measurements taken in different regions. A wide variety of instruments is used. In the present case, data are provided by snow particle counter S7 (SPC-7). See (Trouvilliez et al. 2014) for more details. As the snow height varies throughout the winter, the height of sensor above the snow cover is provided for each measure.
Data Information
- Are the data quality controlled? yes
- How are the data accessible? FTP, an existing data center
- Data availability (may depend on the variable measured): delayed less than one year
