A natural boundary between China's north and south, the Qinling Mountains form a watershed between the basins of the country's two "mother rivers" – the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.
Due to the complexity of their terrain, the Qinling Mountains are highly sensitive to global climate change, and are of special climatic, geographical and biological value.
The administration said that over the next seven years, the observatory will introduce an all-weather, high-resolution and multi-layer climate monitoring system, with focus on climate warning, assessment and analysis processes.
