Geography
The station lies in the Tarfala Valley in northern Sweden, at an elevation of 1,135 meters.[1] The valley is sometimes hit by katabatic winds, which can generate very high wind speeds. The Swedish record of measured wind speed is from Tarfala research station with 81 m/s (157 kn, 290 km/h, 180 mph) on 20 December 1992. Regular glaciological measurements were started in 1946.[2]
