China has taken on big responsibilities since it joined the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) by providing satellite services and sharing data with the world, said Xu Xiaofeng, president of the China Meteorological Service Association.
"Besides data from satellites, China's automatic stations, climate stations and rawinsonde stations for observation are sending hundreds or thousands of real-time data points to the world every day," Xu told CGTN.
Every March 23 marks World Meteorological Day. The theme for this year is "The Future of Weather, Climate and Water across Generations."
Xu believes the theme is a call for human beings to take the road of future-oriented sustainable development.
