Strategic objectives

Considering the fact that the computing resources and NWP model developers within the framework of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) are distributed widespread across the countries, and that the NWP systems very much depend on data-sharing, remote collaborative research, heavy computation, massive data and intensive services, the China Meteorological Application Grid (CMAG) has been established based on the grid technology. Ultimately this platform has aggregated the distributed computing resources, human resources and NWP software at Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS), National Meteorological Information Center (CMIC), Shanghai Typhoon Institute (STI), Guangzhou Regional Meteorological Center (GRMC) and Guangxi Meteorological Bureau. The GRAPES Meso-scale model runs routinely on CMAG and users can access the NWP products at the designated website. It also provides a remote collaborative research environment for the geographical distributed scientists to make contributions to the improvement of the GRAPES.
