Chinese researchers reached the top of Qomolangma on May 4th, 2022. They set up the world's highest automatic(自动的)weather station at an altitude(海拔)of 8,830 meters. The station helps Chinese scientists to directly collect data (数据) from the top of the world's highest mountain and study the effects of climate (气候) change on the environment.
Collecting and studying data from Qomolangma is not easy. But the data will give valuable information about the condition of local glaciers（冰川）and mountain snow. The water from the glaciers and mountain snow has been the source(源头)for over 10 main rivers in Asia and it has fed more than 2. 5 billion people
It will also help scientists study and understand the global monsoon system (全球季风系统),so experts can make proper decisions about climate change and sustainable(可持续的)development.
With the efforts of Chinese government and many years hard work by scientists, China has become a global front—runner in fields related to the Qinghai —Tibetan Plateau.
