(InTibet)CHINA-MT. QOMOLANGMA-SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION-METEOROLOGICAL SUPPORT (CN)

(220503) -- MOUNT QOMOLANGMA BASE CAMP, May 3, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Scientific research members prepare the radiosonde and ozonesonde to be attached to a weather balloon at the Mount Qomolangma base camp on May 3, 2022. China has started a new comprehensive scientific expedition on Mount Qomolangma, the world's highest peak on the China-Nepal border. Weather factors such as temperature, wind speed and humidity will directly affect the completion of scientific research tasks and the safety of research personnel at high altitude. Therefore, a meteorological support team has been launched in safeguards of the scientific expedition. The team is composed of staff members from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, and the Meteorological Bureau of Tibet Autonomous Region, etc. (Xinhua/Sun Fei)

Fallen metrological observation instrument

Photo taken Aug. 31, 2020, shows a radiosonde, an instrument used for meteorological observation, stuck in a tree on the premises of the Foreign Ministry in Tokyo. It is apparently one of several instruments sent into the air by the Kazusa Environmental Research Center from Tokyo's Shibuya Ward using a balloon.
