China's meteorological development

The National Conference on Meteorological Science and Technology opens today in Beijing. This is the first national science and technology conference held by the meteorological industry in the new century, and it is a mobilization conference to comprehensively implement the scientific concept of development, strengthen independent innovation, and build an innovative industry, which will surely become another milestone in the history of China's meteorological science and technology development.

Into the 21st century, in the science and technology to lead and promote, mankind is experiencing from the industrial society to the evolution of the knowledge society. Science and technology have created new economic growth points, played an increasingly important role in solving a series of major problems in the sustainable development of society, and become an important driving force for economic and social development and the main source of wealth formation.

The first 20 years of this century, China's economic and social development is an important strategic opportunity, but also the development of meteorological science and technology is an important strategic opportunity. Construction of resource-saving, environmentally friendly society, improve international competitiveness and anti-risk ability, is our country, but also meteorological scientists are faced with the daunting task and serious challenges. Only by seizing the rare opportunity of the fleeting scientific and technological revolution, significantly improve the strength of meteorological science and technology, especially the ability of independent innovation, it is possible to achieve faster and better development.

Today, we are standing in the "Eleventh Five-Year" beginning, looking back at the past five years, the meteorological cause of the trajectory of the advancement of people is still surging.

"Strategy" for the development of the "Tenth Five-Year" is a key period in the development of China's meteorological industry, the "key" first highlighted in the overall strategy of exploration, condensation and enhancement of the "Tenth Five-Year" meteorological career and scientific and technological development of the wonderful prelude and sonata. During this period, the CMA took the scientific and technological development of the meteorological industry and science and technology as its main theme. During this period, CMA took the scientific outlook on development as the overarching principle, and firstly put forward the three major strategies of "expanding fields, developing meteorology by science and technology, and strengthening the Bureau by talents", which vigorously promoted the development of the cause, and then in 2004, it started the largest strategic research in the history of China's meteorological development, which lasted for more than one year, and achieved significant research results.

Why do we need to do this?

Why conduct such a large-scale strategic research? The answer is very clear, is "development". Because with the continuous progress of meteorological science and technology, the world's understanding of the weather has been extended to the five circles of the climate system and its interactions, meteorological services have been expanded from the traditional weather forecasts to climate prediction, climate change prediction, atmospheric composition monitoring and analysis, etc., the meteorological cause has been deepened into the political, economic, social, national security, environmental diplomacy and sustainable development and play an increasingly important role. The meteorological service has penetrated into all aspects of politics, economy, society, national security, environmental diplomacy and sustainable development and plays an increasingly important role. Therefore, it is necessary to stand on the level of national interests and the development of China's meteorological industry as a whole to unify the planning of China's meteorological industry and further understand the real connotation of meteorological industry; stand on the level of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way as well as the establishment and implementation of the scientific outlook on development and re-examine the needs of economic and social development for meteorological industry; and stand on the level of the frontiers of the world's scientific and technological development and the globalization of the economy and science and technology, to set the strategic objectives and main tasks of the development of China's meteorological industry for the next 20 years. The strategic objectives and main tasks of the development of the meteorological industry have become urgent and realistic tasks, and have become the motivation for strategic research.

The results of the strategic research are closely connected with the National Medium- and Long-Term Science and Technology Development Plan and other national strategies, and put forward the strategic idea of "adhering to the development direction of public **** meteorology, vigorously improving the ability of meteorological information to guarantee national security, and vigorously improving the ability of meteorological resources to support sustainable development" and the strategic idea of "public **** meteorology, vigorously improving the ability of meteorological information to guarantee national security, and vigorously improving the ability of meteorological resources to support sustainable development. The strategic idea of "adhering to the development direction of public **** meteorology, security meteorology and resource meteorology" and the development concept of "public **** meteorology, security meteorology and resource meteorology" have shown the grand pattern of "big meteorology".

At the beginning of the new year, the State Council issued "Opinions on Further Accelerating the Development of Meteorological Services" (hereinafter referred to as "Document No. 3 of the State Council"), which further clarified the strategic positioning of China's meteorological services as a "scientific and technological, basic social public welfare undertaking", emphasizing the fundamental role of meteorological services in national security and social progress, and the importance of meteorological services to economic and social development. It emphasizes the fundamental role of meteorological services in national security and social progress, the realistic role in economic and social development, and the forward-looking role in sustainable development. This is a summary and sublimation of the strategic research results, but also puts forward higher requirements for the reform, innovation and development of China's meteorological industry.

It is these grand strategies based on the development of driving and leading, so that the "Tenth Five-Year" meteorological cause to move forward more solid footsteps, the direction is more clear. At present, the national meteorological departments to implement the State Council Document No. 3 and the spirit of the National Science and Technology Conference, a new round of meteorological business and technical system reform is in full swing, along with the "Eleventh Five-Year" meteorological development of the marching song, the strategic enhancement of the command out of the more and more exciting and throbbing and sound.

"Tenth Five-Year" to create brilliant

In the "Tenth Five-Year" meteorological cause of the brilliant movement, we can find countless jumping notes, along their surging connotation, we can feel the inspiration of the internal drive and vigorous and exuberant The weather industry has a grand theme of symphony.

Theme word one: development

Development is the eternal theme - "Tenth Five-Year" period, the development of China's meteorological industry has made remarkable achievements, meteorological science and technology talent team continues to grow, scientific and technological achievements continue to emerge, the reform of the scientific and technological system and research-oriented operations. The reform of the scientific and technological system and the construction of research-oriented business have achieved initial results, the construction of scientific and technological infrastructure platform has made significant progress, and international cooperation in the field of meteorological science and technology has become increasingly active. More and more Chinese scientists have become members of some important international meteorological academic organizations and editorial board members of international journals. Mr. Ducheng Ye was awarded the 2003 World Meteorological Organization (WMO) International Meteorological Organization Award, and in 2005, he was awarded the National Highest Science and Technology Prize; the WMO Young Scientist Award has been given to young scientists in China for six times since 1993. All these show that the international and domestic level of China's meteorological science and technology fully recognized.

-- Under the support of the National Key Basic Research Program, the National Science and Technology Tackling Program, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, we have carried out research on major weather and climate disasters in China, urban atmospheric pollution, and numerical forecasting technology, and have made significant contributions to the theory and prediction of climate change in East Asia, climate-ecosystem interactions, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change in China. -ecosystem interactions, greenhouse gas emissions and carbon and nitrogen exchanges in the earth's atmosphere, short-term climate prediction systems, numerical modeling and forecasting of atmospheric pollution, middle-atmosphere detection theory and technology, and the theory of weather process dynamics, etc. Important research results have been achieved. According to incomplete statistics, the national meteorological industry*** has won two second prizes for national natural sciences, 17 first and second prizes for national scientific and technological progress, and nearly 400 scientific and technological awards at the provincial and ministerial levels. The number of meteorological science and technology papers in China has climbed significantly.

- China has more than 10 national key laboratories in the field of atmospheric science, more than 20 departmental key laboratories and a number of *** built joint research centers and engineering centers. Stations such as the Valiguan Atmospheric Background Observatory have been included in the national system of field scientific observatories. "During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) system built 101 new-generation weather radars, 7,514 automatic weather stations and the Fengyun-1D and Fengyun-2C weather satellites, which were put into operational operation, and introduced high-performance computers with a capacity of 21.5 trillion times per second. At the same time, governments at all levels have gradually increased their investment in platform construction, laying an important foundation for the further improvement of meteorological modernization.
