Since its establishment (1996) the group has been working at developing a laboratory for advanced meteorological measurements and modeling. The equipment has so reached the following state:
Instruments for meteorological ground based and airborne measurements:
|
 |
Four conventional meteorological stations (cup anemometers and wind vanes; barometers; thermo-hygrometers; global and net radiometers; rain gauges; evaporation pan; soil flux plate; data acquisition and transmission units). |
|
An ultrasonic anemometer Gill Solent Mod. RH Research |
|
A phased array Sodar Scintec Mod. MFAS64. |
|
A measurement system based on a light airplane (Sheibe Falck SF25 - belonging to the University Sport Centre "CUS Trento"). The equipment includes instruments for measurement of air temperature, humidity and pressure and airplane position (GPS). |
|
High precision thermostatic bath for calibration of temperature sensors. |
| Computational resources |
|
3 laptops; |
|
6 desktops; |
|
2 workstations |
| Participation to working groups, access to databases, etc. |
|
Access to the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) |
|
Mesoscale Alpine Programme (http://www.map.ethz.ch) |
|
NAERS |
|
