The air temperature conundrum

Rock temperature variability in the alpine cryosphere
No full textIn a context of cryosphere degradation caused by climate warming, rock temperature is one of the main driving factors of rockfalls that occur on high-elevation mountain slopes. In order to improve the knowledge of this critical relationship, it is necessary to increase measurement capability of rock temperature and its variability in different lithological and slope/aspect conditions, and also to increase local scale studies, increasing the quality and the comparability of the data. Rock temperature data, acquired from July 2018 to July 2022 in an alpine experimental glacial basin (https://deims.org/f8718e56-fb4d-49a3-92a9-3670e7f10ee9), in different two temperature monitoring sites (TMS) with the same lithological conditions (calc-schists) but in two different aspect conditions (South and North), at an elevation range from 2653 to 2667 m a.s.l, are present. The temperature data have been acquired by using six MadgeTech MicroTemp Data Logger (MT), metrologically referenced and with known measurement uncertainty (0.098 °C)
Rock and debris temperature in the alpine cryosphere
No full textMore than 218,000 rock and debris temperature data, acquired from July 2016 to August 2018 in an alpine experimental glacial basin, in different 12 measurement sites (MS) with different lithological and slope/aspect conditions, at an elevation range from 2600 to 2800 m a.s.l, are present. The temperature data have been acquired by using 10 MadgeTech MicroTemp Data Logger (MT), metrologically referenced and with known measurement uncertainty (0.098 °C)
