Why high mountains/high elevations Agenda 21 - UNCED, 1992 “Mountains are fundamental sources of water, biodiversity, minerals, forests, agricultural production and tourism” Sensitive and fragile ecosystems Sensitive and fragile ecosystems Affected by different pressures driven by climate change environmental degradation, alteration of hydrological cycles, retreat of glaciers,…) Affected by different pressures driven by climate change (environmental degradation, alteration of hydrological cycles, retreat of glaciers,…) Early indicators of climate change Early indicators of climate change The knowledge of the state and trend of high elevation climate conditions is still incomplete The knowledge of the state and trend of high elevation climate conditions is still incomplete An integrated approach of observation, modeling and investigation of processes and mechanisms regulating the energy and water budget at high elevations is an important aspect for achieving GEWEX/CEOP’s goals. An integrated approach of observation, modeling and investigation of processes and mechanisms regulating the energy and water budget at high elevations is an important aspect for achieving GEWEX/CEOP’s goals. Few mesurement sites are located in high elevations (remote areas, complex topography, harsh climate conditions) The 2 nd CEOP Annual Meeting – 15/17 September, 2008, Geneva

The 2 nd CEOP Annual Meeting – 15/17 September, 2008, Geneva Definition of HE “High Elevations” include areas such as: altitudes above the timberline, high plateaus, rough relief, low atmospheric pressure, low average temperature, … and any sites that directly create or influence regional climate patterns (e.g., high latitudes) etc.

To study multi-scale variability of water and energy cycles in high elevation areas, while improving observations, modeling and data management. Overall goal of CEOP: To understand and predict continental to local-scale hydroclimates for hydrologic applications WHAT GOAL of HE Specific OBJECTIVES: 1.Provide a mechanism for sharing and harmonizing data from high elevation monitoring stations and for facilitating dialogue amongst researchers concerned with these stations. 2.Promote long-term (10-20 year) monitoring of meteo-climatic parameters in high elevation areas and analyze environmental responses to global changes. 3.Improve understanding of the influence of aerosols on the water cycle in high elevation areas. 4.Improve hydro-climate forecasting capabilities at high elevations to optimize benefits to society, particularly in water resources management.

Recommendations to CEOP Promote the installation of HE sites in poorly represented areas Contribute to the development of guidelines regarding installation procedures, long-term maintenance of CEOP-HE sites and data acquisition Support efforts of HE working group to garner sufficient funds for the activities proposed

The 2 nd CEOP Annual Meeting – 15/17 September, 2008, Geneva Contribution to CEOP-HE objectives by Ev-K2-CNR Committee The CEOP-HE is strongly supported by National Research Council as a strategic component of the SHARE Project Future needs: new monitoring activities in remote areas and extreme elevations. The Ev-K2-CNR Committee will continue to provide technical and scientific expertise towards this goal.

CONCLUSIONS  High elevation regions are ideal sites for monitoring hydroclimatic conditions near or over the boundary layers and for the study of natural and anthropogenic aerosols  In the future CEOP-HE WG can play an important role in coordination of those initiatives aimed at understanding hydroclimate in high elevation areas, including: development of QA/QC protocols for monitoring of meteorological parameters address the results of baseline observations from local to global scale comparison of observations of trace gases and aerosols in the free troposphere from various sites around the world …. At this stage, we invite suggestions and observations from the CEOP Scientific Community to optimize our Science Plan and Implementation Strategy. Thanks in advance.
