China’s weather monitoring and forecasting capabilities have been effectively improved, according to the China Science Daily on Friday, with the coverage rate of weather radars at an altitude of 1 km above the country’s ground standing at 43.6 percent.
During a press conference on Thursday, Wang Yawei, head of the emergency disaster reduction and public services division of the China Meteorological Administration, said the distance between meteorological observation stations in major flood control regions was about eight kilometers.
China currently has 546 sets of meteorological radars, Wang was quoted as saying in the report. The meteorological administration has added three new buoy stations and 218 drifting buoys, and based on equipment such as meteorological radars, ground vertical remote sensing system and BeiDou sounding system, it has carried out coordinated observations of severe convection and typhoons in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.
