Development and Application of Typhoon and Marine Meteorological Integrated Operational System

Typhoon and Marine Meteorological Integrated Operational System, designed for typhoon and marine meteorological warning and forecasting operations, is an integrated platform based on MICAPS4 (Meteorological Information Comprehensive Analysis and Processing System Version 4) framework, providing functions of information retrieval, displaying of typhoon track, marine meteorological observations and numerical forecast products, as well as service product production, distribution and other functions.Typhoon and Marine Meteorological Integrated Operational System consists of three layers, namely, data layer, application component layer and operational service layer. The data layer refers to the database, file system and corresponding processing and management system of the application server. It mainly includes the management and maintenance of the typhoon real-time database, the marine meteorological product database, the meteorological information base sharing information. It collects and transforms the typhoon marine meteorological data, and preprocesses the typhoon marine meteorological model outputs for fine forecasts. This layer provides data services for application component layers and operational service layers. The application component layer contains the basic components and functional components. The basic components mainly refer to components based on MICAPS4 kernel framework, including the underlying services such as graphics engine, basic management, plug-in management, service management and GIS components. Function components mainly include data analysis, streamline analysis, contour analysis, interactive tools, product production, product release and other basic functions. These components provide support for the operational service layer through the interface service. The operational service layer covers all functions of the service, which are used to display and receive data and provide an interactive interface. It integrates typhoon, marine meteorological data retrieval, data display, fine grid editing, typhoon track production, product production, product release and other applications, through the interactive operation, to achieve operational early warning and forecasting function.Typhoon and Marine Meteorological Integrated Operational System has been put into use as the main platform of typhoon and marine meteorological forecasting and warning service in China National Meteorological Center. With functions of comprehensive retrieval and display of meteorological data, fine grid editing, forecast and service product making, product publication, and other basic operational functions, the system significantly enhances the fine forecasting ability of typhoon and marine meteorological. It also shows good operational application ability and development prospects.
