An automatic weather station has been set up at the top of Mount Everest. China, Nepal's northern neighbor, has set up an automatic weather station at the top of Mount Everest. According to Ram Prasad Awasthi, Information Officer at the Department of Water and Meteorology, an automated weather station has been set up in the Everest region at the joint initiative of National Geography in the United States, Central Water and Meteorology Department at Tribhuvan University, and the Department of Water and Meteorology of the Government of Nepal.
The center is located at 8,430 meters. The Chinese meteorological center is located at an altitude of 8,830 meters, according to Chinese media CGTN. China claims to be the world's tallest weather center.
Named Earth Summit Mission 2022, the Chinese scientist's Everest expedition had 14 members. One of the team members remained in the lower base camp due to the cold. More than 270 Chinese teams, including 16 different expeditions, climbed Mt. Everest last month.
Many returned from the middle due to inclement weather, but 14 people with a strong desire to climb had formed a group and moved forward. The same team has succeeded in setting up a meteorological center at Mount Everest. Dechen Godrap, a scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief expeditionary for the expedition, said the center would make it easier to study the highlands while staying at the base camp.
The campaign aims to study the pattern of climate change using high technology in the Himalayas and the availability of greenhouse gases in the highlands. Which is expected to help create innovative scientific plans for the preservation of the highest peaks. The group plans to use additional radar to automatically collect meteorological observations in high mountain areas, collect facts, measure snow thickness at peaks and measure snow conditions.
Ram Prasad Awasthi, information officer at the Department of Water and Meteorology, said the Meteorological Center in Everest would be able to assess the effects of global warming along with the current weather forecast, but at least ten years of data is needed to analyze it.
