The Meteorological Observatory of the University of Naples Federico II is annexed to the Department of Earth, Environmental and Resources Sciences and has its historical headquarters in the historic center of Naples, in Largo S. Marcellino, 10, the former headquarters of DiSTAR. The Observatory was established by Giuseppe Garibaldi with a dictatorial decree, on October 29, 1860, at the request of Prof. Luigi Palmieri, owner of the first chair of Meteorology in united Italy. The Meteorological Observatory of S. Marcellino therefore represents the highest institution in terms of knowledge of the meteorological events of the city of Naples. The meteorological data are currently collected by three automatic control units located on the tower of the S. Marcellino building (lat. 40 ° 50 '48 "N; long. 14 ° 15'31" E; altitude 50 m above sea level). The stations manage the following weather sensors: air temperature (° C); atmospheric pressure (hPa) (normalized at sea level); relative humidity (%); wind speed (m/s); wind direction (° North); precipitation (mm); global and direct solar radiation (W/m2); UV index (0-11).hers related to the research topic:
The Meteorological Observatory, with its historical site enriched by a museum section, provides added and didactic value to the Meteorology, Climatology and Oceanography courses held by Prof. Nicola Scafetta, for research and third party activities.
A meteorological bulletin is published every year on the Rendiconto dell’Accademia delle Scienze Fisiche e Matematiche della Società Nazionale di Scienze Lettere e Arti in Napoli.
