Severe Convective Weather Nowcasting System in Heilongjiang Meteorological Bureau and Its Preliminary Performance Evaluation

Abstract

In this paper, we present the severe convective weather nowcasting system in Heilongjiang Meteorological Bureau and its preliminary performance evaluation, which has been in operational use since 2018. We believe that a good workflow design and intelligently integrated system plays an important role in the weather forecast service. Based on the current data environment, the system builds a unified data environment. Both the functions of automatic nowcasting system and Very-short-range Interactive Prediction System are presented too. The results show that this system plays a key role in the production of rapidly updated, convective storm nowcasting for end users.
