我国“风云”气象卫星及其应用的回顾与展望

Development and Applications of China's Fengyun (FY) Meteorological Satellite

气象卫星和卫星气象是气象现代化的重要标志。自1988年至今,我国已先后成功发射了4颗风云-1极轨气象卫星和4颗风云-2静止气象卫星,顺利完成了极轨和静止两个系列气象卫星从试验到业务卫星的跨越。由"风云"气象卫星获取的地球大气和地表信息已广泛应用于天气预报、气候预测、环境和自然灾害监测与分析等多个领域。文章介绍了我国"风云"系列气象卫星的发展历程、地面应用系统组成、"风云"卫星产品及应用,最后展望了"风云"系列气象卫星的发展。

With more than 30 years＇ development, China has successfully launched 4 FY-1 polar and 4 FY-2 geostationary orbit satellites, and become one of a few countries in the world to operate both polar-orbit and geostationary meteorological satellites. Now FY-1D, FY-2C and FY-2D are working in orbit daily and providing operational services. A large amount of atmosphere and earth surface data observed by FY satellites has been extensively used in weather forecast, cli- mate prediction, eco-environment and natural disaster monitoring in China. This paper introduces the development of FY satellites, ground segments, products generated from FY satellites and their applications. Future development of China＇s meteorological satellite is also described.
