In recent decades, the vulnerability of mountainous regions to extreme events has become evident, due to the impacts of phenomena like glacier melt, storms, and droughts, whose frequency and intensity have risen. At the Institute for Earth Observation, we monitor the environmental dynamics of the Earth’s surface in the mountains aiming to understand changes, investigate their causes, and support the involved communities.

Measurements on the ground were made by eight groups, matching the route of the Cessna aircraft. The measurements were taken at intervals of a few meters. The temperature at altitude was around -15 °C with, at times, very strong wind.
