The automated station to measures snow cover is operating at the Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower since 2010, which is in a tundra site almost flat, located in the Kolhaugen area. The station is part of a complex infrastructure where multi-disciplinary observations are routinely performed. Data were collected using an ultrasonic distance sensor. This activity is carried out in the framework of the SnowCorD project (SIOS Core Data).

The automated nivological station was installed in November 2020 in a flat area over the tundra about 80 meters far from the Gruvebadet Atmospheric Laboratory and nearby a snow sampling site from where weekly snow samples are collected for chemical analysis. Sensors (NESA LU06) have been calibrated by their companies before installation and are connected to a datalogger for continuous acquisition. For all the parameters, data are logged with 10-minute time resolution and then averaged over 1 hour. This activity is carried out by the Aldo Pontremoli Centre part of the Joint Research Agreement ENI-CNR, in the framework of the SnowCorD project (SIOS Core Data).

Snow and surface characteristics are monitored by CNR at the Climate Change Tower in Ny-Alesund.

Data collected by the WINTER-CZ Monitoring Station. The CO2 and the temperature is sampled is measured inside the soil, the snowpack (when the station is covered by the snow) and the atmosphere. Other variables are collected as well: the humidity and the oxygen content of the soil, the snowpack height, the humidity and the temperature of the air, the wind speed and direction.
