Tianhe-1A
A computer model capable of more accurately forecasting and analyzing the cause of smoggy days is expected to be put into operation in the following three to five years.
The simulation model will be developed using the technology of Tianhe-1A, which is ranked as the world`s fatest supercomputer from November 2010 to June 2011, and the model`s data will be revised in light of actual observation data from other monitors, said Meng Xianfei, are searchers with the National Supercomputer Center (NSC) in Tianjin.
The model is also expected to forecast weather conditions further in advance
compared with current air quality monitors in operation, according to Meng.
Chinese environmental authorities have set up 668 monitoring spots in 114
cities and have released the data daily online and through tradional media.
"The formation of smog is related in different regions, and atmospheric,
physical, chemical andbiological factors are involved in the process," Meng
added.
Remarkable achievement has been made in the fields of aerospace, weather
forecasts, climate prediction and ocean enviroment simulation since the Tianhe1A was put into operation three years ago.
The project, which is a collaboration between the Chinese Academy of MeteorologicalSciences, the National Metereological Center, Tsinghua University and the NSC in Tianjin, will also provide a reference for decisions about regional planning.
According to the Actions to Address Climate Change 2013 annual report
released last month by the
Chinese Academ.y of Social Sciences, the frequency of smog has increased
over thepast 50 years in China.
