In this morning, the 2011 State Top Science & Technology Award Ceremony held in Beijing. The Meteorological Information Combine Analysis and Process System (MICAPS), Manuals of Lightning Protection and Risk Avoidance and Common Sense of Lightning Protection and Risk Avoidance published by China Meteorological Press won the National Scientific and Technological Progress Prize (Second Class, 2011)
The innovation points of MICAPS include the multidimensional and multitemporal data processing, the key meteorological graphic technologies which break through the technology of human-machine interaction and so on. MICAPS offers the powerful platform for the application of meteorological satellites, weather radars and numerical forecast. It realizes the great development of meteorological information processing and the technology of weather forecast.
Manuals of Lightning Protection and Risk Avoidance and Common Sense of Lightning Protection and Risk Avoidance are the popular science works developed by China Meteorological Press. They generally cover all the middle and primary schools and mobilize the schools to pay more attention to disaster prevention and mitigation. Meanwhile, the works promote the farmers and the common people's capability of lightning protection which has gained remarkable economies.
Xie Jialin, academician & former deputy director of Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wu Liangyong, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering & Institute of Architectural and Urban Studies, Tsinghua University won the National Top Science and Technology Award.
Since "the 11th five-year Plan", the meteorological departments have won 7 second class prizes of National Scientific and Technological Progress Prize.(Feb.14)
