The little animals have dinner, but only the elephant is very angry. Why?

The Meteorological Bureau is a government department, whose main work is weather forecasting, climate forecasting, weather modification, drought monitoring and forecasting, lightning protection, agrometeorology and other services. In China, it generally refers to China Meteorological Bureau and its subordinate units. In other countries and regions, enterprises may have different names.

The meteorological bureau refers to the government unit engaged in meteorological business.

Taking China Meteorological Bureau as an example, its responsibilities include: (1) formulating the principles and policies, laws and regulations, development strategy and medium-and long-term planning of meteorological work; Formulate and promulgate rules and regulations, technical standards and norms for meteorological work, and supervise their implementation; Undertake relevant administrative reconsideration work. (II) To participate in the government's decision-making on meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, organize the meteorological defense of major disastrous weather across regions and departments, organize and guide the meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation work such as lightning and fog, and centrally manage the work of artificially influencing local weather. (3) Managing meteorological institutions established by other departments in the State Council, making unified plans for the development and layout of the national land and sea meteorological detection and information network, meteorological stations and stations network, meteorological infrastructure and large-scale meteorological technical equipment, and reviewing the projects and plans of large and medium-sized meteorological projects nationwide.

China has initially formed a modern comprehensive atmospheric observation system that combines space-based, air-based and ground-based, with relatively complete categories and basically reasonable layout; A meteorological service system consisting of weather forecast, climate forecast, weather modification, drought monitoring and forecasting, lightning protection, agrometeorology, ecology and the development and utilization of climate resources has basically been formed. Meteorological services involve industry, agriculture, fishery, commerce, energy, transportation, construction, forestry, water conservancy, land and resources, ocean, salt industry, environmental protection, tourism, aviation, post and telecommunications, insurance and so on. With the development of science and technology, economy and society, meteorological services and services such as atmospheric composition analysis and early warning, space weather early warning, sandstorm weather monitoring and forecasting, lightning protection device detection and engineering design, health and medical meteorology, and emergency response to public emergencies have also developed rapidly. Meteorological services have basically covered all fields of national economic construction, social development and national security, and the input-output ratio of social benefits and economic benefits of meteorological services has reached 1∶40.

China has formed a research system of basic research, technical research and application development of meteorological science and technology. China Meteorological Bureau has nine national scientific research institutes, including China Meteorological Research Institute, China Meteorological Bureau Beijing Urban Meteorological Institute, China Meteorological Bureau Shenyang Atmospheric Environment Institute, China Meteorological Bureau Wuhan Rainstorm Institute, China Meteorological Bureau Shanghai Typhoon Institute, China Meteorological Bureau Guangzhou Tropical Marine Meteorological Institute, China Meteorological Bureau Chengdu Plateau Meteorological Institute, China Meteorological Bureau Lanzhou Drought Meteorological Institute and China Meteorological Bureau Urumqi Desert Meteorological Institute. In 2004, the Ministry of Science and Technology approved the establishment of the State Key Laboratory of Disaster Weather by China Meteorological Bureau. China Meteorological Bureau is one of the earliest departments in China to carry out the reform of public welfare scientific research institutes, and has passed the reform acceptance of national public welfare scientific research institutes, initially forming a new meteorological science and technology innovation system. China Meteorological Bureau is the domestic lead unit of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and has carried out a series of research on climate change science, impacts and countermeasures.
