Abisko Scientific Research Station

Abisko Scientific Research Station is a central part of our infrastructure, here researchers can work in a subarctic environment with varied nature – both in terms of topography and geology, as well as in climate. Environmental monitoring and collection of climate data is carried out at the station. Some measurements have been carried out since 1913, and the long series of measurements form a knowledge base of great importance for today's research. In 2021, the World Metrological Organization (WMO) appointed the station as a Centennial Observation Station.
