PROGRESS OF MARINE METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATION EXPERIMENT AT MAOMING OF SOUTH CHINA

HUANG Jian; CHAN Pak-wai

Abstract:

The coastal area of southern China is frequently affected by marine meteorological disasters, and is also one of the key areas that influence the short-term climate change of China. Due to a lack of observational facilities and techniques, little has been done in this area in terms of operational weather monitoring and scientific research on atmospheric and marine environment. With the support of China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and Guangdong Meteorological Bureau (GMB), the Marine Meteorological Science Experiment Base (MMSEB) at Bohe, Maoming has been jointly established by Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Marine Meteorology (GITMM) and Maoming Meteorological Bureau (MMB) of Guangdong Province after three years of hard work. It has become an integrated coastal observation base that is equipped with a complete set of sophisticated instruments. Equipment maintenance and data quality control procedures have been implemented to ensure the long-term, steady operation of the instruments and the availability of high quality data. Preliminary observations show that the data obtained by the MMSEB reveal many interesting features in the boundary layer structure and air-sea interaction in such disastrous weather as typhoons and sea fog. The MMSEB is expected to play an important role in the scientific research of disastrous weather related to marine meteorology.
