Objectif(s): To map the present climate more accurately than can be provided by the few permanent weather stations located in the region; to obtain information about the climate in the past; to understand relationships between climate and other parts of the ecosystem, including people.
Description du projet: This research, begun in 1985, involves measuring climate data such as air and ground temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, precipitation and snow depth. Automatic data collecting stations have been set up to measure these data. The purpose of this research is to document a more accurate picture of the region's climate, to obtain information about the past climate and to examine the relationship between climate and the ecosystem.
