Dischma Dürrboden (DMAD) Primary CryoNet Station Information
The station was established to study snow-atmosphere interactions as well as snow redistribution by the wind in a small Alpine catchment and is due to be maintained in future for longer-term monitoring of the snow cover on that end-of-valley slope. The research station consists of three sites on a transect reaching to the top ridge of the catchment at 3044 m. There no variable of any component of the cryosphere is measured but the "free" atmosphere conditions are recorded. Snow depth, snow surface temperature and additional meteorological variables are measured at the two other sites. Below, only the measurements performed at the main site are indicated. NOTE: The main site has been destroyed by an avalanche during winter 2019. The station is currently re-build.
Location of the two additional sites: Ridge: 46.69391 N, 9.94958792029 E; 3040 m Moraine: 46.70158 N, 9.94496 E; 2555 m
