A meteorological observation platform at an altitude of over 5,000 meters was recently put into operation in the central section of the Kunlun Mountains in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) said the comprehensive meteorological observation platform, the highest of its kind in China, is located in Xinjiang’s Hotan Prefecture. It is designed to observe artificial weather modifications and scientific research for cloud-water resources in the Kunlun Mountains, ScienceNet.cn reported.
The platform integrates multiple ground-based meteorological observation systems, high-altitude detection of unmanned aerial vehicles, cloud ice microphysics research and monitoring, and aerosol detection by lidar.
According to AMC, high-definition video imaging technology, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System and stable solar power supply system have formed a comprehensive ground-air-space monitoring network.
