The Sir Crispin Tickell Global Climate Monitoring Center is the highest observatory in the world
The Sir Crispin Tickell High Altitude Global Climate Monitoring Center is the highest observatory in the world, located at 4,581 meters above sea level, on the inactive Sierra Negra volcano, within the Pico de Orizaba National Park, Puebla, from where It has a global vision of the pollutants that cause global warming.
It is located very close to the Large Millimeter Telescope of the Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics, thus forming the most important high-altitude scientific cluster in Mexico and Latin America..
The Observatory monitors the concentrations of the main Greenhouse Gases
The Observatory monitors the concentrations of the main Greenhouse Gases (GHG): methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons; ozone, suspended particles and ultraviolet solar radiation on a regional and global scale.
The measurements recorded by the Global Climate Monitoring Center are sent to a global emissions monitoring network, as well as to different organizations affiliated with the United Nations (UN) that will be in charge of carrying out the analyses.
Sir Crispin Tickell observatory fills gap in Global Climate Observing System
It is the first time that Mexico occupies a prominent place on the map of nations that monitor the vital signs of climate change in the atmosphere, its presence fills an important gap in terms of GHG measurements in Mexico, the southern United States, and Central America and the Caribbean.
The observatory is the first of its kind in the region and will be integrated into the most important climate surveillance networks on Earth, to monitor greenhouse gases. With this, Mexico takes the lead in climate change in the Latin American region. .
