China will accelerate the innovation of meteorological core technologies and fully leverage the technologies to prevent loss from extreme weather. With the goal of building a modern technology-driven meteorological system, the country needs to make significant breakthroughs in Earth-system numerical model, disastrous weather predictions and meteorological observation equipment. Mid-May the State Council released a guideline on fostering the high-quality development of meteorology between 2022 and 2035.
Per the guideline, China will become independent in meteorological core technologies by 2025, and have major breakthroughs in key meteorological science and technology fields and realize meteorological modernization featuring smart technologies by 2035. So far, China has established a meteorological observation system of nearly 70,000 automatic ground observation stations, 236 weather radars and 7 Fengyun meteorological satellites.
