我国在珠峰架设世界最高气象站
Chinese scientific researchers on Wednesday established an automatic meteorological monitoring station at an altitude of over 8,800 meters, making it the world's highest of its kind, on Mount Qomolangma on the China-Nepal border.
5月4日，我国科考队员成功在中尼边境的珠穆朗玛峰建立了一个海拔8800多米的自动气象监测站，这是世界上海拔最高的自动气象监测站。
Including the new weather station, eight elevation gradient meteorological stations have been set up on Mount Qomolangma -- one of the main tasks in China's new comprehensive scientific expedition on the world's highest peak, at a height of 8,848.86 meters.
此次完成气象站架设后，就形成珠峰地区8个气象梯度观测站点，这是中国在这座海拔8848.86米的世界最高峰上进行全面科学考察的主要任务之一。
Also on Wednesday, 13 members of the expedition team reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma.
当日，13名珠峰科考队员成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰。
At the summit, the squad measured the thickness of the ice and snow using high-accuracy radar for the first time, and collected samples for further research.
除了架设气象站，登顶科考队员还完成了利用高精度雷达测量冰雪厚度、采集冰雪样品等峰顶科考任务。
