Typhoon No. 3 "Gemei" is known as the "King of Winds" in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea this year because of its "rapid outbreak" and "giant" size. This evening, "Gemei" will make landfall in Fujian for the second time. After landing, it will also penetrate deep inland and cause widespread rainfall. In order to better understand the internal structure of the typhoon and determine the "temper" of the typhoon, the Shanghai Typhoon Research Institute of the China Meteorological Administration has dispatched their field observation team. This "wind chasing team" is working intensively on the front line of the typhoon. Carry out a series of observation experiments to obtain first-hand information. Reporters learned from Typhoon Frontline that at 5 a.m. today (July 25), the storm chasing team conducted a typhoon field observation test on this year's No. 3 typhoon "Gemei" and successfully released a sounding balloon.
It is understood that with the unified deployment of the Comprehensive Observation Department of the China Meteorological Administration and the support of national business departments, the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau took the lead in organizing relevant provinces, scientific research institutions, universities, enterprises and other departments and units to take Typhoon No. 3 "Gemei" as the The pilot project explores the realization of the identification of sensitive areas for typhoon observation - the implementation of typhoon observation business trials - the assimilation of multi-source typhoon observation data - the application of model forecasts - through ground-based, sea-based, air-based and space-based collaborative observations. Integrated process for effectiveness evaluation.
At present, the observation team has been in Xiapu, Fujian and Pingtan, Fujian, relying on the East China Typhoon Field Scientific Experiment Base of the China Meteorological Administration and the Pingtan Meteorological Observation Station, using fixed sites and mobile observation equipment to determine the intensity of typhoons. capabilities, the impact of offshore boundary layer processes on typhoon intensity changes, offshore typhoon intensity change forecasts, and microphysical mechanisms of offshore typhoon heavy precipitation to conduct observations and obtain first-hand real-time observation data. These observational data have not only become important data support for typhoon forecasting, but also accumulated valuable experience and data for mankind to explore the mysteries of typhoons.
