Abstract:
This paper is focused on the latest gridded fusion products developed by the National Meteorological Information Center (NMIC) of China Meteorological Administration (CMA),which include soil temperature and moisture,sea surface temperature,sea surface wind,three-dimensional cloud information and a series of meteorological elements data (such as air temperature,air pressure,precipitation,radiation,humidity,wind speed and direction,etc). The multi-source data fusion testbed and integrated quality evaluation system for these products are then introduced. Furthermore,recent progresses in multi-source data fusion in both foreign countries and China are reviewed in the paper,and the prospect of future development of multi-source meteorological data fusion is discussed.
