Chinese scientists are mounting efforts to establish a meteorological monitoring station at an altitude of 8,800 meters on Mount Qomolangma, the world's highest peak, on the China-Nepal border.
Currently, the engineers in charge of establishing the station are still waiting for the perfect weather for mountaineering.
Including the highest, eight elevation gradient meteorological stations will be set up on Mount Qomolangma, which will collect the wind speed and wind direction data, as well as relative humidity on the north side of Qomolangma.
