Abstract:
Status of FY series meteorological satellites of China is introduced. Comparisons between Chinese and international meteorological satellites are made in observation items, technical indicators, operation reliability, data sharing level and applications. With great efforts in the past 40 years, FY1/3 polar orbiting and FY2 geostationary meteorological satellites are now both in operation. Data and products from Chinese meteorological satellites on atmosphere and earth environment status have been broadly used in weather forecast, short range climate prediction, environmental/natural hazard monitoring, agriculture and other economical fields. Data and products from Chinese meteorological satellites are not only broadcasted in real time, but also accessed through Internet web site. But,quantitative accuracy of data from Chinese meteorological satellites, assimilation of data into numerical model and skills of forecaster at image interpretation need to be improved. Fundamental research at raising instrument accuracy, improving data preprocessing, processing and simulation levels and applications must be enhanced.
