Equipment to help monitor climate change has been set up in the Arctic Circle by researchers from the University of Leicester. The team from the National Centre for Earth Observation travelled to the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard to install thermal radiometers which will collect "precise, on-the-spot" temperature data. The data is used to validate measurements taken by orbiting satellites and helps scientists understand how the region is being affected by climate change.
