Abstract:Using the 2010-2014 FY2 and FY3 meteorological satellite data and radar data, conventional observations and numerical forecasting products as well as multithreshold method, and area overlap method, the cloud identification tracking method for Hubei rainstorm is studied. Besides shortterm forecasting method for Hubei 6 h rainstorm is studied by using batching method. Wuhan Central Meteorological Observatory has established a torrential rain monitoring and forecasting system in the form of web page. Forecasters can quantitatively monitor and forecast the occurrence and development of torrential rains by the system. The application and test in 2014 results show that this system plays a guide role in monitoring and forecasting torrential rains in Hubei Province.
