The China Meteorological Administration is responsible for operating national weather observation systems, forecasting weather and climate conditions, issuing warnings for severe weather events, conducting atmospheric research, and supporting disaster risk reduction. Its principal functions include monitoring tropical cyclones, floods, droughts, heatwaves, cold waves, sandstorms, and other hazardous weather phenomena; maintaining meteorological satellites, weather radar networks, and upper-air observation systems; producing numerical weather prediction models; and providing specialized meteorological services for agriculture, aviation, marine activities, transportation, energy, water resources, and public health. The Administration also manages China's national meteorological data infrastructure and supports weather modification programmes, including cloud seeding and hail suppression. | The China Meteorological Administration is responsible for operating national weather observation systems, forecasting weather and climate conditions, issuing warnings for severe weather events, conducting atmospheric research, and supporting disaster risk reduction.
