IT House May 4 news, according to CCTV news reports, may 4 at 12:53 at about 12:53, the "Peak Mission 2022" Mount Everest scientific expedition successfully reached the summit, and the scientific expedition mountaineers launched a number of scientific expedition tasks at the summit.
In addition, at 12:46 on the 4th, the mainland expedition team successfully set up the world's highest automatic weather station at the highest altitude on Mount Everest. It was learned from the forward command of everest base camp at an altitude of 5200 meters that the mainland expedition team successfully set up an automatic meteorological observation station at an altitude of more than 8800 meters on Mount Everest, and the weather station has successfully transmitted real-time data. This is the world's highest altitude automatic meteorological observatory and the last weather station erected during the "Pinnacle Mission" Everest expedition.
According to reports, since the beginning of this year, the scientific expedition team has successively set up 4 automatic weather stations at an altitude of 5200 meters, 7028 meters, 7790 meters and 8300 meters. Together with the three automatic weather stations erected at an altitude of 6500 meters, 5800 meters and 5400 meters last year, a gradient automatic weather station from 5200 meters to 8300 meters above sea level has been completed and operated, and the weather station at an altitude of 8800 meters will be the last piece of the "puzzle".
Once completed, the 8,800-meter-high weather station will surpass the automatic weather station built by British and American scientists on the southern slope of Mount Everest in 2019 to become the world's highest automatic weather station. After completion, the temperature changes and gradient changes in this area are studied, and the temperature and altitude changes of the entire region of the Third Pole are understood, which also means that the China Everest gradient meteorological observation system has been initially completed, which is of great significance for the monitoring of high-altitude glaciers and snow changes.
IT Home learned that the "Peak Mission 2022 - Comprehensive Scientific Expedition and Research in the Extremely High Altitude Area of Mount Everest" has a total of 16 scientific expedition teams and more than 270 scientific expedition team members participating, which is a comprehensive scientific expedition with the widest subject coverage, the largest number of participating scientific expedition members and the most advanced instruments and equipment since the launch of the comprehensive scientific expedition on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in 2017.
The Everest expedition will focus on the environmental changes in the Everest region and conduct a comprehensive investigation from the aspects of atmosphere, water, ecology and surface processes. For the first time, researchers will apply advanced technologies, methods and means to conduct research on major scientific issues such as westerly-monsoon synergy, changes in asian water towers, ecosystems and biodiversity, and human activities.
One of the important projects of this scientific expedition is to build an altitude gradient weather station on the northern slope of Mount Everest.
