A new Chinese scientific expedition to the Evereston the border with Nepal, plans to install the first automatic weather station at its summit.
During the expedition, a total of eight meteorological stations will be installed, four of which are planned to be more than 7,000 meters above sea level. With a altitude of 8800 meters (the peak has 8849), it will be the tallest automatic weather station in the world if it is established successfully, reports the Xinhua agency.
The expedition, part of a 270-researcher scientific mission to the Qimghai-Tibet Plateau, focuses on issues such as the synergy between westerly winds and monsoons, changing water towers in Asia, ecosystems and the biodiversity, and human activities in the area of Mount Qomolangma, as the Chinese call Everest.
The expedition team will also conduct studies on environmental changes, changes in greenhouse gas concentration, ecosystem carbon sink functions, and human adaptation to extreme environments in extremely high altitude areas of Mount Qomolangma in the context of global warming. , according to the research team.
The expedition is expected to provide scientific data on changes in the atmospheric environment and cryosphere in the Qomolangma area, and reveal the laws of environmental change in the extremely high-altitude areas of Qomolangma in the context of climate warming.
Launched in 2017, the second scientific expedition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is of great importance in advancing the sustainable development of the region and promoting the global environmental protection.
