Abstract:
Abstract. The regional research network Water in Central Asia (CAWa)
funded by the German Federal Foreign Office consists of 18 remotely operated
multi-parameter stations (ROMPSs) in Central Asia. These stations were
installed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam,
Germany, in close cooperation with the Central-Asian Institute for Applied
Geosciences (CAIAG) in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; the national hydrometeorological
services in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan; the Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute
in Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and the Kabul Polytechnic University, Afghanistan.
The primary objective of these stations is to support the establishment of a
reliable data basis of meteorological and hydrological data especially in
remote areas with extreme climate conditions for applications in climate and
water monitoring in Central Asia. Up to now, 10 years of data have been provided
for an area of scarce station distribution and with limited open-access data
which can be used for a wide range of scientific or engineering
applications. The data described in this paper are made publicly
available with the digital object identifier (DOI)
https://doi.org/10.5880/GFZ.1.2.2020.002 (Zech et al., 2020) or via the
Sensor Data Storage System (SDSS) at http://sdss.caiag.kg (last access: 22 February 2021).
