Antisana Glacier 15 has been monitored since 1995 using a measurement network that is periodically renewed located over the ablation zone between 4840 meters above sea level and 4960 meters above sea level. The network is visited monthly, being one of the longest series of mass balance measurements over a tropical glacier with 29 years of data. In 2023, IRD, in collaboration with INAMHI, began the implementation of this device starting in October, carrying out the installation with a respective measurement and data transmission tests at a height of 4900 meters above sea level. There was a period of adjustments until June 2024, from which continuous balance measurements have been carried out with a frequency of 30 minutes. In the surroundings of this electronic device there is a conventional stake which is measured over a monthly basis. The first results measured with this device and their comparison with the data measured with a monthly scale over the conventional device are presented in this work.
