The ability of monitoring and early warning of severe weather will be further improved.

Beijing, 10 Jan (Xinhua) reporter Chen Haibo learned from the National Meteorological Work Conference on the 10th that in 2024, China will further improve its ability of monitoring and early warning of severe weather and do its best to prevent and reduce meteorological disasters.

Chen Zhenlin, director of China Meteorological Bureau, introduced at the meeting that in 2023, China’s meteorological science and technology business capacity will be steadily improved. The forecast error of typhoon’s 24-hour average path is 62 kilometers, which is the best in history. The accuracy of 24-hour rainstorm forecast has reached a new high; The warning signal of severe convective weather was released 43 minutes in advance.

According to reports, the meteorological department should strengthen the risk prediction and response of meteorological disasters, pay close attention to monitoring, forecasting and early warning services, further improve the linkage mechanism of disaster prevention and mitigation led by meteorological early warning, build the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, and promote the whole society to effectively resist risks.

In 2024, the meteorological department will further improve the ability of monitoring and early warning of severe weather by strengthening the monitoring and early warning of short-term approaching weather, doing a good job of point-to-point accurate forecasting and rolling update, strengthening the construction of national and provincial short-term monitoring and early warning platforms, promoting the adjustment of rainstorm early warning signals, and piloting seamless climate impact prediction.

At the same time, the meteorological department will also improve the emergency response and linkage mechanism for disaster prevention and mitigation. In 2024, the meteorological department will promote the comprehensive integration of meteorological services into the local comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation command and dispatch work system, improve the "calling" mechanism and process of high-level meteorological disaster early warning, fully implement the progressive meteorological service mechanism, encourage chief forecasters to interpret weather trends and disasters online, and enhance the prevention ability of meteorological disasters in the whole society.

In addition, this year, we will develop meteorological disaster risk prediction business, strengthen the research and development of risk prediction algorithms and scientific testing of single disaster, multi-disaster and disaster chain, establish and improve the national and provincial integrated meteorological disaster risk prediction business system, and strengthen the application of various products in meteorological disaster prevention decision-making. Improve the ability of weather modification and carry out experiments and demonstrations of key technologies.
