BEIJING, April 1 (Xinhua) — China on Wednesday opened the National Climate Observatory in Xiong'an New Area, north China's Hebei Province, becoming the 27th of its kind.
According to the China Meteorological Administration, the observatory consists of one main station and eight auxiliary stations, covering four major ecosystem types, ranging from urban areas to forests, wetlands and farmlands.
Key meteorological observation data will be transmitted in real time to a meteorological big data cloud platform, further enhancing the efficiency of climate monitoring and assessment, the accuracy of forecasts and warnings, and the level of meteorological service provision for various industries.
As a reminder, on April 1, 2017, China announced plans to establish the Xiong'an New Area, located approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing. This new area, dubbed "City of the Future," significantly advances the implementation of various projects to free Beijing from non-capital functions that are not essential to its role as the country's capital and transfer them to Xiong'an, as well as promote the coordinated development of the Beijing-Hebei-Tianjin region.
Once operational, the climate observatory will not only perform climate observation tasks but also conduct research in several key areas, providing more reliable support for climate resource analysis, climate change monitoring and assessment, and disaster risk identification.
In recent years, the meteorological authorities of Xiong'an New Area have been steadily promoting the development of "smart meteorology" by establishing an integrated monitoring network.
“We will continue to enhance our capabilities in meteorological disaster risk monitoring and early warning, environmental and meteorological services, and urban infrastructure services,” said Guo Yitao, deputy head of the new observatory. -0-
