An integrated air-based, space-based and ground-based meteorological observation system has been established with nine FENGYUN meteorological satellites in orbit, providing data products and services to 129 countries and regions. A sounding system based on the BeiDou satellite navigation system has been successfully developed and put on operational trial, and sounding data have been applied in national and provincial operational forecasting systems. A new-generation weather radar observation network has been built, with increasingly improved capabilities for monitoring and early warning of strong convective severe weather. All Ground-based meteorological observation stations have been automated, and the time taken to transmit observation data has been reduced from minutes to seconds. A quality management system for meteorological observation has been fully established nationwide and has received ISO9001 certification.
