Hydrometeorological data from a Remotely Operated Multi-Parameter Station network in Central Asia

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