The PMOD/WRC runs a meteorological network to find out more about the greenhouse effect. The 10 stations of the ASRB (Alpine Surface Radiation Budget) are situated between 370 and 3,580 metres above sea level. Since 1995 the global solar radiation and the atmospheric infrared radiation is being registered every 2 minutes.
