Integrated Observation System Integrated Observation System CMA has established CMA has established an integrated an integrated an integrated an integrated meteorological meteorological observation network observation network observation network observation network based on space based on space- - based, airborne and based, airborne and ground ground- -based based observing systems observing systems across the country. across the country. across the country across the country 气象探测中心 Components Components of of the the observation observation Meteorological Observation Center

Surface observation stations Surface observation stations Surface Observation Surface Observation  CMA has 2,414 surface observation stations b ti t ti (including 2,194 AWS) at the national level.  Locally, 22,766 AWS stations were set up for making intensified making intensified observation of small- & meso- scale weather systems systems. Great Wall , Zhongshan and Yellow River meteorological stations were set up in the polar regions polar regions. 气象探测中心 Meteorological Observation Center
