Hohhot, August 5 (Reporter Li Aiping) The reporter learned from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Meteorological Data Center on the 5th that the center and the Bayannur Meteorological Bureau of Inner Mongolia jointly carried out a calibration test of the radar reflectivity factor of the drone hanging metal ball at the Linhe National Weather Radar Station. This is the first radar station in Inner Mongolia to carry out this work.

During the test, the staff used a drone to suspend a metal ball to calibrate the new generation weather radar in Linhe. After software upgrades, data analysis, and on-site adjustment of radar-related parameters, the observation accuracy and data accuracy of the Linhe weather radar were improved.

In order to improve the quality of observation data of the new generation of weather radars, the China Meteorological Administration selected 14 new generation weather radar regional reference stations across the country to carry out metal ball calibration work, and Linhe, Inner Mongolia is one of them. The success of this test not only accumulated valuable experience for the metal ball calibration of weather radars in Inner Mongolia, but also laid a solid foundation for improving the consistency of radar reflectivity factors across the country.
