«Top of Europe» for greenhouse gas measurements
Research station at Jungfraujoch certified
Within the framework of the European research infrastructure «Integrated Carbon Observation System» (ICOS), the Research station at Jungfraujoch is now officially certified. ICOS provides data to better understand the global carbon cycle and how human activities affect it.
The inclusion of biospheric, oceanic and atmospheric measuring stations in this network is linked to strict criteria to ensure that the data meet the highest quality standards. Last November, the first seven measuring stations were certified – and, as of today, the highest lab in Switzerland at Jungfraujoch also belongs to this illustrious circle.
