World's highest automatic weather station to be set up on Mt Everest
Chinese scientists are mounting efforts to establish a meteorological monitoring station at an altitude of 8,800 meters on Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, on the China-Nepal border
Mount Everest’s weather station has been found to be recording local cooling due to the effects of glaciers, an unusual phenomenon that contradicts with the overall trend of global warming. The findings published recently in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience shocked scientists when they revealed unexpectedly cool temperatures on the slopes of the highest peak. It goes against climate expectations and raises questions about the unique climate dynamics of Mt. Everest.
A team of scientific expedition from the National Geographic Society has successfully installed the “world’s highest weather station” at an altitude of 8,830m on Mt Everest.
A group of Chinese climbers scaled Mt Everest from the Tibetan side this morning aiming to conduct the scientific research on roof of the world, reports said.
A multidisciplinary team of climate scientists and world-renowned climbers has returned to the world’s highest peak as a part of the National Geographic Scientific Expedition aiming to conduct essential maintenance on world’s highest weather stations on Mt Everest.
