On September 1, CMA’s independently developed global assimilation forecast system GRAPES_GFS completed upgrading.Using this system, CMA has carried out prediction for the track and gale of hurricane Ida and Nora from August 28 UT. After the upgrading of GRAPES_GFS, the tropical cyclone forecast scope of World Meteorological Centre (Beijing) is expanded from Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea to the entire world.
On September 2, the images of Fengyun-3E meteorological satellite (hereafter referred to as FY-3E satellite) is released for the first time, which is about the sun from the perspective of the satellite. The released images include solar EUV images, animation images for multiple days, X-ray images, ultraviolet-short wave infrared band refined spectral irradiance images. FY-3E satellite was lifted off on July 5, 2021. It is the first early morning orbit meteorological satellite for civil use in the world.
Recent weeks and the tragic events in Western Europe have shown how fundamental climate and weather are. The ability to obtain reliable information, correctly interpret forecasts and read signs in nature are becoming indispensable features of modern society. That is why we are glad that, as IMGW-PIB, we have conducted the first such extensive research in Poland on the knowledge of Polish women and Poles about weather phenomena, climate change, forecasts and natural hazards. Are Poles interested in weather forecasts? It is difficult to answer this question directly. However, we certainly have many fans of atmospheric phenomena that have significant meteorological and hydrological knowledge. The study clearly shows that we are interested in what happens now, tomorrow, what can happen in summer or winter, understand climate change, and know what we can do to reduce our negative impact on the environment. This is discussed today in the analysis of the IMGW-PIB Internet Survey 2021.
