Abstract:
A network of barometers will be installed on three mountains in the High Himalaya: Mt. Everest (South Col, 8000 m), Cho Oyu (8200 m) and Shishapangma (8027 m). Scientific studies to be made are of the diurnal pressure wave, the variability of the Indian summer monsoon in particular the active-break cycles of the upper level anticyclone and the dynamics of the subtropical westerly jet. These unique measurements will provide the highest continuous record of atmospheric pressure and overlap with the GEWEX/CAMP monsoon campaign allowing extensive synergistic use of simultaneous data.
