According to the arrangement of Meteorological Informatization Action Plan, meteorological informatization operation will be conducted in a two-step manner: from 2015 to 2016, CIMISS will be in full operation and data and resources application will be conducted to make preparation for meteorological cloud construction; from 2017 to 2020, meteorological cloud construction will be organized to improve meteorological operation informatization level. Smart meteorology will be realized.
CIMISS operation is one of the fundamental tasks of meteorological informatization. At present, 78 business application systems have been integrated with CIMISS. Zeng Qin, deputy managing director of CMA meteorological informatization leading group expressed that CIMISS was not only a simple data storage system, but also a unified and evolving ecosystem.
In addition, informatization infrastructure resource pool construction guideline and public cloud application design have been accomplished; weather informatization engineering project proposal and pre-research and pilot construction of organization have been completed; preliminary numerical prediction cloud has been built;; trial group innovation platform has been initiated; information operation and management have yielded preliminary results.
Jiao Meiyan, Deputy Administrator of CMA expressed that it was important to fully recognize the importance of CIMISS operation and existing difficulties; relevant units should integrate MICAPS4.0, CIPAS, agricultural meteorology, public meteorological services and other systems; informatization standard should take priority; different departments should undertake their respective responsibilities and clarify work arrangements and objectives for different phases; informatization work evaluation should be strengthened and the first-phase strategies should be summarized; informatizaion work in the 13th Five-Year Plan should be well orchestrated; informatization project action plan will be further detailed.
In the next step, meteorological informatization work will focus on resources integration, data distribution and sharing, and intensive and efficient process. (August 11)
