Chinese scientists recently carried out the "Jimu-1" tethered balloon atmospheric observation experiment in Lulang, Nyingchi, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, which is expected to provide a new perspective for unraveling the mysteries of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ecosystem.

The tethered balloon, equipped with 16 types of scientific payloads with a total weight of 200 kg, has conducted 30 verification flights reaching a max altitude of 5,940 meters and obtained key data on atmospheric composition, pollutant distribution and three-dimensional cloud microphysics.
