Abstract:
More than 218,000 rock and debris temperature data, acquired from July 2016 to August 2018 in an alpine experimental glacial basin, in different 12 measurement sites (MS) with different lithological and slope/aspect conditions, at an elevation range from 2600 to 2800 m a.s.l, are present. The temperature data have been acquired by using 10 MadgeTech MicroTemp Data Logger (MT), metrologically referenced and with known measurement uncertainty (0.098 °C).
