The Ev-K²-CNR SHARE-Asia Project aims to create a monitoring network along the Himalayas-Karakorum range for studying meteorological and climate parameters with particular attention paid to monsoon variability, atmospheric chemistry, glaciology and high altitude limnology and paleolimnology, as well as for precise determination of the Earth surface coordinates. Specific objectives of SHARE-Asia are: development of an integrated system of measurements for increasing knowledge on environmental and earth sciences; and activation of local technology transfer and capacity building processes.
SHARE-Asia meteorological-climate and atmospheric chemistry monitoring stations are already part of important international scientific projects, such as WMO-CEOP and UNEP-ABC.
