Abstract:The Meteorological Information Communication System is an operation platform of collecting and distributing of information for supporting the services of weather forecast and the researches on atmospheric sciences. The development of CMA’s meteorological communication services passed through the stages of manual transmission evolving into automatic transmission, and the point to point transmission to the integrated transmission system implemented based on network communication and broadcasting services. Currently, CMA’s meteorological information communication systems, consisting of domestic and international communication systems, have the capacities of collecting and disseminating global exchanged data, domestic observations and forecast products, as well as controlling and monitoring the data exchange flow. Its services cover all of the meteorological bureaus and observatories over China, as well as other relevant national agencies and users. The article gives a brief review to the development history of CMA’s meteorological communication services, an introduction to the technologies and services implemented in CMA’s current meteorological information communication systems, and a prospect to their future development.
