China Waliguan atmospheric background reference Observatory was founded in 1994. It is located on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, 100 ° 54'e, 36 ° 17'n and 3810 m above sea level. It is the highest atmospheric background monitoring station in the world and the first atmospheric background monitoring station located in the hinterland of the mainland in the world. Its establishment fills the gap of the global atmospheric monitoring network (GAW) in Eurasia. Waliguan atmospheric background reference Observatory is jointly invested and constructed by the Chinese government and the global environment facility, and operated and managed by the China Meteorological Administration. The comprehensive atmospheric background monitoring is mainly based on the monitoring of greenhouse gases and atmospheric ozone.
