The Central Meteorological Observatory ushered in its "70 years old"

70 years has passed, and it has been a long journey.

Always walk with the party and the people for 70 years.

Guarding the cold and summer of the Republic

Today’s Central Meteorological Observatory

Central Meteorological Observatory (National Meteorological Center)

It is a scientific and technological social basic public welfare institution, a national business center for national weather forecasting, marine, environmental, ecological and agricultural meteorology, research and development and operation of business numerical forecasting system of China Meteorological Bureau, decision-making meteorological service, and also a world meteorological center (Beijing) of the World Meteorological Organization, a regional professional meteorological center for nuclear environmental emergency response, a regional professional meteorological center for Asian sandstorm forecasting and a regional professional meteorological center for marine meteorological service.

The National Meteorological Center (the Central Meteorological Observatory) has built a GRAPES numerical forecasting operational system consisting of deterministic and ensemble forecasting. Carry out monitoring and early warning for typhoon, rainstorm, snowstorm, strong convection, cold wave, high temperature, sandstorm, fog and other disastrous weather, as well as weather forecast business of 0-30 weather elements; It has formed a meteorological forecast service system facing the public, the government and the industry, and the service areas involve agriculture, ecology, ocean, aviation, hydrology, environment, insurance and other major categories of the national economy.
