Keith Garrett, Mount Washington Regional Mesonet, Steve Gunderson, Campbell Scientific, Inc.; and Baker Perry, Appalachian State University.

Many thanks go to all those who provided valuable resources for this project. We would especially like to thank the expedition team for selecting Campbell Scientific gear for this project, as well as the experts from the Mount Washington Observatory and the Mount Washington Regional Mesonet.


System Design and Manufacturing

了解员工致力于设计和测试坎贝尔科学装备的员工团队,确保其可靠性地收集珠穆朗玛峰的极端环境中的准确数据。

史蒂夫·甘德森

销售工程师

史蒂夫·甘德森

Steve began the initial conversation with the scientific team about the possibility and feasibility of designing a system of meteorological instrumentation for installation on Mt. Everest. Steve assists many Campbell Scientific clients who are working on projects that at first seem impossible. Steve has a hard time saying no to anything—even when asked if he wants to swim with sharks.

Jared Campbell

Mechanical Design Engineer

Jared Campbell

Jared had to address all the unique challenges the expedition team would face in designing the Extreme Applications tripod. Jared joined the team to test the design in Everest-like conditions on Mt. Washington. When Jared is not designing hardware for extreme weather stations, he spends his time designing other crazy projects—like mountain boards without brakes!

Gary Roberts

Communications and Software Product Manager

Gary Roberts

Gary对极端应用程序的通信系统的理解对他作为消防员的角色至关重要。这种专业知识用于确定哪些通信系统最适合MT的电台。珠穆朗玛峰。对于此应用,可靠的通信是检索数据的绝对需要,Gary选择三种不同的系统。这种类型的冗余可确保无论在这个极端环境中发生什么,至少有一个系统将始终正常工作。

Michael Hansen

Systems Implementation Engineering Manager

Mike Hansen

Mike was critical to pulling together all the pieces of a complete station to ensure they would work in the harsh environment of Mt. Everest. This included finding the best sensors, connectors, batteries, and enclosures that could withstand the constant cold and wind. Mike was also the lead programmer for the brain of the system: the CR1000X datalogger. To give his own brain a break, Mike spends his time with his four-legged hunting companion. It’s also the perfect environment to let those innovative ideas for making this project work come together.


Scientific Experts

符合负责在珠穆朗玛峰安装坎贝尔科学装备的科学团队成员。

Dr. Baker Perry

见过eorologist, Appalachian State University

Baker Perry

"Dr. Perry’s research interests include precipitation, snow and ice, glacier-climate interactions, and climate change. Mountain regions serve as a focus, with specific interests in the Himalayas, Andes, and Appalachians." His current research is organized around three major topics:

  • 见过eorological research on Mt. Everest
  • Precipitation-climate-glacier interactions in the tropical Andes Mountains
  • 降雪模式和过程在南部阿巴拉契亚山脉

Dr. Tom Matthews

见过eorologist,Loughborough大学

Tom Matthews

Dr. Matthews "... is a climate scientist with particular interests in the sensitivity of Earth systems to climate variability and change. Within this broad remit, his specific areas of expertise include glacier-climate interactions and extreme events – from mid-latitude storms to heatwaves and hurricanes. Much of his work in these fields aims to understand processes and the evolving societal challenges in the context of climate change."

Field Testing

Experts affiliated with Mount Washington share their knowledge and experience related to the test installation site.

Dr. Eric Kelsey

Research Assistant Professor, Plymouth State University and Director of Research, Mount Washington Observatory

Eric Kelsey

作为博士生,埃里克“......利用气候变化使他对天气的热情。他开发了一种新的冰核校准程序,用于识别来自加拿大育空的冰芯中的季节性大气循环模式,并研究大规模的季节性大气循环模式海平压力和温度变化...除了教学和学生的建议外,Kelsey博士还担任华盛顿山天文台研究总监。他的研究兴趣包括对东北,冷水池的高度升高的边界层影响在山谷中形成,山地环境中的边界层动态,新英格兰冷空坝,并采用WRF模型,为东北升高的高度提高天气预报。“
