Mount Washington Observatory

Since its establishment in 1932, the Mt. Washington Observatory has contributed to landmark research efforts in short-wave radio propagation, ice physics, the constitution of clouds, and the composition of the atmosphere. The Climate Change Research Center collaborates on research projects that address summit weather and climate, regional air quality and global tropospheric chemistry.

For further information about the research being done on the Northeast’s highest peak, please visit the Mt. Washington Observatory’s web page.
