The Wise Astronomical Observatory, Mitzpe Ramon is used in the GloCAEM project by the Tel Aviv University.

The measurement site is located in the arid Negev desert, which experiences hot summers and a daily Mediterranean sea breeze. Altitude is 850m a.s.l.
The measurement site is located in the north west section of the Wise observatory. This is an arid location in the southern part of Israel (the Negev desert) on the cliffs of the Ramon crater. The area experiences hot, dry summers with average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and cold winters with average temperature of 6 degrees Celsius. There is very little precipitation in this area (average precipitation of 80mm/year), although dust storms can be frequent. Snow occurs once every several years and lasts for 2-3 days on the ground before it melts. The terrain consists of rocks rich with iron, making the ground quite conductive.
