China will develop a third-generation Fengyun-series weather satellite to observe meteorological changes, enabling the country’s scientists to collect climate change data.
The satellite will collect more accurate data and images of the atmospheric temperature, humidity and wind to support more reliable weather forecasting.
Using the new satellite, the scientists will be able to monitor the meteorological system and different layers of the atmosphere in a long-term and consistent way to provide scientific evidence for research on climate change.
Monitoring of the Earth’s environment and resources will also be enhanced with the help of the new satellite, according to chinadaily.com.
Out of the 11 Fengyun weather satellites launched by China over the past 40 years, six are in operation.
