China's Aerospace Institute begins observation experiment in Mount Qomolangma region to study land-atmosphere interactions for ecological and climate system understanding.

China's Aerospace Information Research Institute has embarked on an observation experiment to study land-atmosphere interactions in the Mount Qomolangma region of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. This research aims to understand the crucial component of ecological and climate systems, as interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere in the region significantly impact the local climate and potentially influence the global climate through complex feedback mechanisms and atmospheric circulation. The research team, using unmanned aerial platforms, will collect data on moisture, heat, and carbon fluxes, as well as radiation fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere. They will integrate ground-station and remote-sensing satellite data for multi-temporal and multi-spatial comprehensive observations.
