The automatic weather station AWS4 was installed in August 2015. It is located 240 meter above sea level on the southern slope of Skarvefjeld. The mast is located on a vegetation-covered plateau. The station is running West Greenland Standard Time (UTC-3). The AWS4-Meteorology file holds the following parameters (Air temperature, Air pressure, Relative humidity, Liquid precipitation and Short wave incoming radiation). Find more data from AWS4 under Soil (AWS4-SoilTemperature, AWS4-SoilMoisture). The mast is equipped with a HOBO U30 station from Onset and data are logged every 30 minutes. Meteorology:Meteorology GeoBasis Disko:The GeoBasis monitoring programme focuses on selected abiotic characteristics in order to describe the state of Greenlandic terrestrial environments and their potential feedback effects in a changing climate. Monitored plot data is up-scaled to a landscape level and is used to improve ecosystem models to be able to quantify these feedback mechanisms. The GeoBasis programme provides an ...
