На дрейфующей полярной станции «Северный полюс-41» запустили систему мониторинга парниковых газов

AARI Scientists to Monitor Greenhouse Gases in the Arctic

Scientists from the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) have placed a monitoring module for greenhouse gas flows at the drifting polar station "North Pole-41" (performs research functions - editor's note www1.ru), and an observation station has been installed on the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago.

The work is being carried out as part of the creation of a climate and environmental monitoring system for the Russian Arctic seas.

Monitoring greenhouse gases is necessary to assess the rate of warming. In the Arctic, the climate is warming two to three times faster than anywhere else on the planet.

He emphasized that it is greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere that intensify warming processes. It is expected that the data obtained from «North Pole-41» will show an increase in average annual concentrations of carbon dioxide in the Arctic atmosphere and its absorption by the Arctic Ocean.

AARI also plans to organize a network of drifting buoys in the Arctic region that will transmit information about the state of the environment.
