Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower, Climate research tower in Ny-Ålesund, Norway.

The Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower stands 34 meters high and contains instruments measuring temperature, humidity, wind patterns, and solar radiation at multiple levels.

The National Research Council of Italy funded and established this scientific research facility in 2009 to monitor changes in the Arctic environment.

The tower bears the names of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and Italian explorer Umberto Nobile, who conducted important Arctic expeditions.

Scientists access the tower throughout the year to collect atmospheric data, contributing to international research about climate variations in polar regions.

The structure monitors snow layer thickness and temperature at two different depths while gathering data about the atmospheric boundary layer of the lower troposphere.
