Located in the Dingri County, Tibet Autonomous Region, and 30 km away from the Mt Qomolangma base camp, the CAS integrated monitoring and research platform (4276m a.s.l) is undergoing smooth progress in construction.
Contemporary working tent has been put up at the platform site. So far, fence has been established around the construction site, where the atmospheric boundary layer tower, wind temperature profiler and foundation for the activity room have been established. Apart from that, the domestic water supply has also been in use, and a set of hypersonic wind temperature equipment (involving radioactive monitoring system of 4 Component) has been on for nearly a month at the Qomolangma Station, together with CO2/H2O open-circuit analyzer.
The completion of the construction is to be realized at the end of August. By then, configuration of various equipments will be completed and put into operation.
