AEMet Izaña, Weather observatory on Mount Teide, Tenerife, Spain
The Izaña Atmospheric Research Center operates at 3718 meters above sea level, monitoring atmospheric conditions and collecting meteorological data through advanced instrumentation systems.
The observatory commenced operations in 1916, establishing a continuous record of temperature, humidity, pressure, and precipitation measurements that spans over a century.
Scientists from multiple nations gather at Izaña to conduct research on climate patterns, atmospheric composition, and the effects of Saharan dust on regional weather.
The facility maintains real-time data collection systems, providing immediate access to weather information through specialized applications and Linux-based workstations.
The observatory sits above a temperature inversion layer and beneath the Hadley cell, creating optimal conditions for measuring trace gases and conducting remote sensing observations.
