卫星气象的现状及展望

本文讨论了气象卫星遥感技术的现状及展望,以及在未来十几年内气象卫星可能提供遥感信息的前景。由于卫星技术的发展以及信息处理能力的提高,遥感信息将会对于气象及有关学科的发展有所推动,本文预期了它对于天气预报、气候与长期预报、大气探测(包括云雨)、大气污染、海洋环境及陆地冰雪研究的促进效果。气象卫星遥感提供了地球环境综合性研究的可能性,本文也讨论了这样一个发展趋势。最后,概述了我国卫星气象事业的发展概况。

Recent development in satellite meteorology

In this paper, the status and prospect of remote sensing technique of meteorological satellite have been described. The condition of remote sensing imformation from meteorological satellite in next decade has been predicated. By the development of meteorological satellite technique and the improvement of imformation treatment capability, the research of some branchs of meteorology would be urged forward, for example, weather forecasting,climate and long range weather forecasting,atmospheric exploration (include clouds and rain), atmospheric pollution, marine environment and snow-ice. Meteorological satellite remote sensing supplys a demand of comprehensive survey of earth environment, in this paper, this item has been discussed also. The last, we make an overview of the satellite meteorology activity in China.
