The Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Marine Meteorology (ITMM) and the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) have launched an observation program in the northern part of the South China Sea.

Meteorological ocean technology

The program has been divided into two parts: deploying buoys and observing submerged buoys; and deploying underwater gliders and wave energy gliders.

Observation data goals

The program will obtain data, such as sea surface wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity and air pressure, as well as seawater temperature, salinity, depth and currents in the targeted area in the northern part of the South China Sea, for the next three to four months.

It has been designed to lay the foundations for research on the multi-scale characterization of ocean-atmosphere interfacial processes and their interaction mechanisms under strong wind conditions, and for research on the contribution of ocean multi-scale processes to atmospheric-ocean fluxes.

In related news, the China Meteorological Administration recently launched an unmanned ship for three-dimensional cloud and sea fog observation. Click here to read the full story.
