CMA has implemented such research projects as the Mid-Range Numerical Weather Prediction and Severe Weather Forecasting, the Typhoon and Torrential Rain Monitoring and Forecasting, the Short Term Climate Prediction System in China, the Numerical Prediction-oriented Innovation and the Agrometeorological Disaster Preparedness.
A number of significant studies have also been launched in the field of basic research: the Observation and Study of Physical Process of Terrestrial-Atmospheric System on Tibet Plateau and Its Impact on Global Climate and Severe Weather in China, the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment, the Torrential Rain Experiment for across-the-Taiwan-Strait and Neighboring Areas, the Formation and Prediction of High-impact Climate and Weather Disaster in China and the Air, Water and Land Pollution and Its Control in Beijing and Surrounding Areas.
At the same time, a lot of research has been carried out in the fields of East Asia monsoon, climate change, atmospheric physics and chemistry, tropical meteorology, atmospheric sounding techniques and instruments and polar meteorology, with remarkable progress scored.
In the years to come, an in-depth study will be made of the formation and prediction of high-impact meteorological disasters with an emphasis to be placed on the improved accuracy of weather forecast in various time scales as well as of monthly, seasonal and yearly short-term climate prediction and on the expanded areas of meteorological operations and services in an attempt to see a breakthrough in the short-term climate prediction system and the small and meso scales severe weather system. Intensive research will go to meteorological sounding, data assimilation and application, distinctive numerical modeling and specialized services as well so that the world level will be approached or reached in these aspects. In the end, a highly innovative institution will take shape to meet the meteorological needs.
Top priority is being given to the preparation of the Meteorological Development Strategy as recently requested by CMA. The study of the impact of weather and climate on society, economy, defense and people's livelihood is organized, policies and plans governing meteorological science and technology are drafted, and special studies and decision-making-oriented advice are presented on a routine basis. |
