The first Ground-based Remote Sensing Vertical Observation System in Anhui Province was completed at the end of June at the Anqing National Meteorological Observatory and has now been put into trial operation. The system can provide real-time data at the minute level for a variety of meteorological elements and enhance the station's ability to monitor the atmosphere vertically. It was reported that the system included five types of observation equipment, such aswind profilers, GNSS/MET (Global Navigation Satellite System Meteorological Observation), millimetre-ceilometer, microwave radiometers and aerosol laser observers, and a fusion system. When the system is operating, itcan provide real-time data at the minute levelfor elements such as wind, water vapour, clouds, temperature, humidity and aerosols within 10 kilometres abovethe observatory and upload more than 30 types of data. The system has successfully realised the complementary advantages of various types of equipment and coordinated observation at the same site. It has also helped to form a three-dimensional monitoring network for meteorological elements, further enhancing the capability to vertically monitor the atmosphere, improving data quality, and resolving the current problem of insufficient vertical observation capacity for small and medium-scale catastrophic weather processes.
