Abstract
The NEVEMONT project finalized at the snow monitoring at low altitude in the italian territory – after the very snowy winter, 2008-09 season the Dipartimento Nazionale della Protezione Civile italiana and the Servizio Meteomont del Corpo Forestale dello Stato have designed a system for monitoring of snow at low altitudes which will supplement the information provided of Servizio Meteomont mountain snow survey network. The latter network currently includes more than 1100 monitoring snow point in most of the plains and hills of Italy, with the exception of extreme south and main islands.The protocol of monitoring provide to inform national and regional centers of Protezione Civile relatively at spatial and temporal information on the distribution, thickness and characteristics of the snowpack on the ground. All this allows us to follow in real time the evolution of snowfall at the lowest altitudes; as they almost always cause severe problems with traffic or in medium and large cities of the plain In this paper are shown results of monitoring carried out during the heavy snowfalls of 17-18 December in central ItalyI documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
