Site description
Site description
The Monte Baldo mountain range is characterized by a prominent ridge oriented in the north-northeast to south-southwest direction between Lake Garda and the Adige Valley, with elevations reaching approximately 2200 m asl. This mountain range extends approximately 36 km in length and 11 km in width. The target area for the experimental field campaign has been identified as an east-facing, wide-tilted terrain with a slope angle of approximately 25° in the lowest southernmost part of the elongated Monte Baldo mountain range. This site approximates a prototypical simple slope, i.e., an area that can be assimilated to a wide tilted surface, which develops over a total height of about 360 m between the base level of Malga Valfredda (1320 m asl) at its feet, and the mountain crest (1660 m asl).
Objective of the Campaign
Objective of the Campaign
The campaign is designed as a pre-assessment of the experimental site to evaluate characteristics of the selected area in view of the project objectives, and verify the practicability of the area for a larger instrumentation deployment.
Campaign design and Duration
Campaign design and Duration
The experimental design comprises one flux-tower, equipped with two levels of sonic anemometers and thermohygrometers, and a surface energy budget station approximately at mid-slope between the malga and the mountain crest. An additional array of thermohygrometers was deployed to observe the local thermal environment.
Duration: 2 October 2024 - 10 November 2024
