Abstract. This article describes an innovative, complex and affordable monitoring system designed for joint observation of environmental parameters, rock block dilatations and temperature distribution inside the rock mass with a newly designed 3-meter borehole temperature sensor. Global radiation balance data are provided by pyranometers. The system introduces a novel approach for internal rock mass temperature measurement, which is crucial for the assessment of the changes in the stress field inside the rock slope influencing its stability. The innovative approach uses an almost identical monitoring system at different sites allowing easy setup, modularity and comparison of results. The components of the monitoring system are cheap, off-the-shelf and easy to replace. Using this newly designed system, we are currently monitoring three different sites, where the potential rock fall may endanger society assets below. The first results show differences between instrumented sites, although data time-series are relatively short. Temperature run inside the rock mass differs for each site significantly. This is very likely caused by different aspects of the rock slopes and different rock types. By further monitoring and data processing, using advanced modelling approaches, we expect to explain the differences among the sites, the influence of rock type, aspect and environmental variables on the long-term slope stability.
