Arctic Team Installs Climate Change Monitors

Researchers from the University of Leicester installed new equipment in the Arctic Circle to monitor climate change, setting up thermal radiometers in Svalbard to collect precise temperature data. This data is crucial for confirming satellite measurements and understanding the Arctics impact on climate change. The team, led by Abigail Waring, observed the rapid recession of the Kongsbreen glacier and the disappearing summer sea ice, which contributes to global warming. Despite challenges, the team emphasizes the importance of accurate temperature tracking in the Arctic. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
