What is the highest meteorological station in the world?

The highest meteorological station in the world is Tuotuo weather station in China.

Tuotuo Meteorological Station is located at the foot of Tanggula Mountain, the source of the Yangtze River. It is a grass-roots meteorological observation station with advanced equipment and complete facilities. It is the highest weather station in the world, about 4700 meters above sea level, and is known as the "roof of the world". The terrain here is high, the weather is cold and the air is thin. The freezing period is 33 1 day in 365 days a year. It has a far-reaching impact on the weather in China, Asia and the world. Therefore, despite the harsh environment, our staff did not flinch, but still insisted on transmitting many important observation data to the country. Therefore, it is not only an important forecasting and research station in the national weather station, but also a global data exchange station.

Since the establishment of 1956 weather station, its equipment and other components are extremely rich because of its very important task. There are not only radar sounding stations, meteorological observation stations, forecasting groups, telegraph rooms, but also a large number of hydrogen rooms for producing hydrogen for balloons. Due to the special environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, meteorological data observed by many weather stations play a very important role in meteorological prediction and research in China, Asia and even the whole world.

In addition, the Tuotuo River Meteorological Observatory began to provide meteorological data for railway construction from 200 1, releasing sounding balloons twice a day and recording meteorological data eight times. This is of great guiding value to the construction of Qinghai-Tibet Railway. So the importance of this weather station is extraordinary.
