Middle Station
Contributing Station Information
The Middle Station of the Koxkar Site is located at the middle part of the glacier on the ice surface. An automatic weather station was install to measure one-level meteorological variables as air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction and shortwave radiations. The landscape of the station is ice with patched thin debris. In 2015 an eddy-flux station was installed to carry out a short-term turbulence measurements on bare ice. This data together with turbulence observations on debris layer in Lower Station will be used to analyze eddy flux characteristics of the glacier on different landscapes.
