reporters learned from the institute of atmospheric physics of the chinese academy of sciences that the comprehensive observation system platform for artificial weather modification and cloud water resources on the top of the central kunlun mountains, at an altitude of 5,287.71 meters, completed acceptance and was put into use today (13th). this is currently the highest observation platform of this type in my country. its completion and use will play an important supporting role in weather and climate research on the northern slope of the qinghai-tibet plateau in my country.

this artificial weather modification observation platform integrates advanced systems such as multi-factor ground meteorological monitoring, drone high-altitude detection, aerosol lidar detection, cloud ice and water dynamic monitoring, forming a complete sky-ground integrated monitoring network. a series of new technical means can be used to accurately capture cloud dynamics, optimize artificial rain and snow operations, assess the impact of climate change, and explore ecosystem adaptation strategies in extreme environments. the commissioning of this platform is of great significance to water resource security, agricultural irrigation, disaster prevention and mitigation in this area, and also provides important support for global climate change research and ecological environmental protection.

li chaofan, an associate researcher at the institute of atmospheric physics of the chinese academy of sciences, said that the frequency of extreme weather and climate events in the northwest region is increasing, and the kunlun mountains happen to be a key water vapor transport area in the entire westerly belt. the establishment of the observation platform can effectively collect observation information on the weather and climate of the entire northern slope of the qinghai-tibet plateau, filling the gaps in meteorological observations on the entire northern slope of the plateau, especially in the kunlun mountains, and helping my country to systematically carry out research on weather and climate changes on the entire northern slope of the plateau.
