The stations operated in cooperation with the Upper Austrian Avalanche Warning Service at Feichtaualm, Ebenforstalm, Kogleralm, Spitzenbergeralm (Hengstpass), and Schoberstein provide meteorological data that reflect the national park’s most important habitats and serve as the basis for the bark beetle development model. Since 1990, precipitation, temperature, snow cover, and solar radiation have been recorded as part of a monitoring program. Over the long term, this allows conclusions to be drawn about changes in the external conditions to which the area—including its vegetation, wildlife, etc.—is subject.
