14 Tuning of Fengyun satellite observations 1. FY 3A/B MWTS microwave temperature vertical sounding FY 3A satellite data are seriously damaged by frequency shift and other instrument problems. Frequency shift means designed frequency at pre launch stage is not as same as real frequency on payload. Frequency shift is a common problem for microwave sounding data, tuning data will obtain a consistent data series. 2. FY 2E Atmosphere Moving Vector FY 2E AMV data high assign techniques are reviewed and improved. FY 2E AMV data quality is improved for Quality Index > FY 3A/B MWTS & FY 2E AMV data are ready for NWP data assimilation using. 14

A real time verification platform of TC forecast has been set up. An evaluation system for TC forecast has been set up. A variety of TC forecast and verification products are disseminated through the WMO-TLFDP website ( A new landfall typhoon forecast flow based on the products of WMO-TLFDP has been experimentally set up in ECRMC/CMA, in which the TC EPS products are playing an important role. Based on a benefit assessment of TC forecast services in Shanghai from 2010 to 2011, the overall satisfaction factor is fairly high up to 82.3%. 37
