Rock temperature variability in the alpine cryosphere

DOI

In 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).

The number -9999 indicates the division between one year of acquisitions and the next.The work was carried out in the framework of the GioMon project (https://geoclimalp.irpi.cnr.it/progetti/).
