From April 1, following the conclusion of reform, China’s surface meteorological observation will be fully automated. Previously, the surface meteorological observation automation reform has gone through two phases: pilot operation and national trial operation. The final evaluation shows that the trial operation has achieved expected results. Among them, the frequency of automated observations increased by about 4 to 8 times compared to manual observations. The time for transmitting observation data was optimized from minutes to seconds level. The data is transmitted directly to the provincial level. As a result, workload is reduced by about 30%.
