Thirteen members of the Earth Summit Mission 2022 expedition team returned to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters on May 5 after accomplishing multiple tasks on the summit of Mount Qomolangma.
The team set up a meteorological monitoring station on Mount Qomolangma at an altitude of 8,830 meters above sea level and tested it successfully for data transmission. It is the highest automatic weather station in the world.
Powered by solar panels, the station is designed to last for two years under harsh weather conditions and is equipped with a satellite communications system for data transmission every 12 minutes.
With the highest now fully installed, the eight stations will work together to record temperatures, relative humidity, wind speeds, wind direction, solar radiation, and other data on the northern slope of Mount Qomolangma.
