Shaanxi: Comprehensively promote the application of meteorological observation services

Recently, the reporter learned from the Shaanxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau that the bureau is fully promoting the operational application of UAV observation. According to the plan, Shaanxi Meteorological Department will carry out normalized meteorological observation, test and application of drones, promote equipment networking, calibration, captain training, airspace approval, etc., improve the evaluation mechanism in multiple ways, and establish a more scientific and effective atmospheric detection. Small-scale UAV meteorological observation systems, business processes and business specifications, including environmental meteorological vertical detection, agro-ecological monitoring, and disaster prevention and mitigation services.

At present, the Shaanxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau has carried out more than 200 flight observations of 7 major categories and 20 different types of scenes from observation, scientific research, service, emergency, and calibration, and conducted vertical meteorological observations of 3,000 meters and 1500 meters. A large number of second-order observation data with a medium-low altitude altitude of no more than 5 meters; the application design of the UAV meteorological observation was carried out, the aircraft platform and airborne sensor 0ion were established, and the UAV observation technology system was established; Downfield, maintenance room and business platform, etc., complete observation equipment configuration and training of 9 unmanned aerial vehicle observers; continue to carry out comparison calibration test and environmental meteorological detection test of drone and sounding and microwave radiometer data, Agro-ecological remote sensing monitoring test, disaster prevention and mitigation emergency support test, etc., provide important data such as on-site observation data and images for decision-making services.

It is reported that 2018, the Shaanxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau, in conjunction with Tianjin, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other provinces (municipalities) meteorological bureaus, continue to carry out the design and test of small-scale UAV operational applications for meteorological observations, and has completed the completion of small UAVs. Demonstration construction of observation applications.
