On March 3, the X-band dual-polarization phased array weather radar jointly built by Wuhan Rainstorm Research Institute of China Meteorological Administration, Suizhou Meteorological Bureau, Hubei Cultural Tourism Group and Guangdong Narui Radar Technology Co., Ltd. successfully completed the lifting in Dahongshan, Suizhou, Hubei Province, marking the era of phased array for Hubei weather detection.

Compared with the traditional weather radar of mechanical scanning, the dual-polarization phased array radar has both the characteristics of rapid scanning of phased array radar, and the advantages of dual-polarization radar to obtain rich detection information of weather system, and is superior to traditional weather radar in terms of reaction speed, data update rate, multi-target tracking ability, spatial resolution, versatility, anti-interference ability, etc., which can not only detect the macroscopic evolution of the weather process, but also obtain the shape, size, phase distribution, spatial orientation, precipitation type, etc. of precipitation particles. The detailed information is helpful to improve the early warning ability of strong convective weather such as tornadoes and downbursts, and the accuracy of quantitative estimation of precipitation, so as to provide accurate weather forecasting and early warning services.

Figure 2 shows the 985 platform equipment of the Dahongshan Rainstorm Stereoscopic Vertical Observation Base (including X-band dual-polarization phased array weather radar, GNSS/MET water vapor station, laser raindrop spectrometer and six-element automatic weather station)

The X-band dual-polarization phased array weather radar installed in Dahongshan is one of the key equipment of the new Dahongshan rainstorm stereo vertical observation base built by Wuhan Rainstorm Research Institute in 2022. Suizhou Dahongshan is a very ideal natural platform for vertical stereoscopic observation, and a rare natural observation platform for vertical gradient of boundary layer. At present, the base has built a four-level gradient meteorological station and a multi-element vertical observation system, with vertical contour observation capabilities of cloud precipitation such as temperature and humidity, wind, water vapor, and precipitation particles, as well as mountain gradient meteorological observation capabilities, combined with the newly built X-band phased array weather radar, which can support the field scientific experiments of small and medium-scale weather systems such as heavy rain and strong convection. By building a three-dimensional vertical observation base for heavy rainfall in Dahongshan, the field scientific experiment observation capacity in the rainstorm-prone area north of the Jianghan Plain will be further enhanced, and the relevant mechanism research and model prediction ability will be improved. Relying on the equipment and technology of the base, it will also help promote the integrated development of the local cultural tourism industry, provide strong support for serving economic and social development, and ensuring the safety of people's lives and property.

I'm not Buddhist. Maybe you should hang it on top of a statue of Mao? Maybe in the forbidden city of Beijing?
I have no problem with it if conditions allow. But statues are too small and forbidden city not high enough.
 
You are putting the functions understood in your own cultural background in China.

Ancient temples in China were not just religious buildings, but also cultural centers that brought together people from all walks of life. Among them, the Qintianjian was an important function of ancient Chinese temples, with its main role being to observe celestial phenomena and predict the weather.

In ancient China, astronomy and meteorology were very important scientific fields. By observing celestial phenomena, weather changes could be predicted, providing important reference information for people from all walks of life in society. Therefore, the Qintianjian played a very important role in ancient society.

In the Qintianjian, some personnel were specifically responsible for observing celestial phenomena and recording the positions and changes of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and stars. These data had important significance in the society of the time, as they could be used to predict weather changes, guide agricultural production, disaster relief, and other social activities. At the same time, the Qintianjian also became an important place for the study of ancient Chinese astronomy and meteorology, attracting many scholars and experts to come and exchange research.

In ancient Chinese temples, the Qintianjian was a very special building. It was not just a temple, but also a cultural center that brought together multiple fields, such as astronomy, meteorology, history, culture, and social life. Through the Qintianjian, people in ancient society could gain a better understanding of astronomy and meteorology, as well as a deeper insight into ancient Chinese history, culture, and social life.

With the development of technology and the progress of modern civilization, modern temples not only inherited the functions of ancient Qintianjian, but also emphasized the introduction of modern technology equipment to observe celestial phenomena and meteorology. For example, some temples with high terrain, such as Wudang Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Putuo Mountain in China, have installed modern astronomical and meteorological observation equipment, such as telescopes and meteorological radars.

These modern technology equipment can help the staff in temples to observe celestial phenomena and meteorology more accurately, providing more precise predictive information.

Great explanation of your perspective.

Thanks.
