Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of progressive meteorological services in enhancing disaster prevention and reduction efforts, particularly in the context of China's diverse climate and varying regional risks [1][2]. Group 1: Progressive Meteorological Services - Progressive meteorological services are structured into three levels: trend indication, disaster alert, and warning issuance, aligning with the evolution of meteorological disasters and response processes [1]. - The China Meteorological Administration has developed a comprehensive meteorological observation system that integrates land, sea, air, and space, achieving internationally advanced observational capabilities [2]. Group 2: Technological Advancements - The lead time for severe convective weather warnings has increased to 43 minutes, and the average path forecast error for typhoons has been reduced to 62 kilometers [2]. - Global weather forecast resolution has improved to 12.5 kilometers, allowing for accurate predictions of major weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere up to 8.1 days in advance [2]. Group 3: Implementation and Impact - The implementation of progressive meteorological services is guided by the "Progressive Meteorological Service Guidelines (Trial)" issued by the China Meteorological Administration in 2024, encouraging localized service models [1]. - The mechanism for high-level meteorological disaster warnings has been gradually improved, with 340,000 instances of notifications to party and government leaders and key emergency personnel in 2024, strengthening the first line of defense against meteorological disasters [2].
