From September 2 to 3, typhoons "Sula" and "Anemone" made landfall on the mainland one after another, and the strong wind and rain brought by the latter still affect Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, and the continuous heavy rainfall in some areas exceeded historical extremes.
Sudden responsibility in the wind and rain. The Party Group of the China Meteorological Administration has made careful arrangements and attached great importance to it, and meteorological departments at all levels have firmly established the people-centered development thinking, effectively brought into play the role of grassroots Party organizations as fighting fortresses and the vanguard and exemplary role of Party members, dealt with typhoons, raced against wind and rain, practiced the general requirements of theme education with practical actions, and tested the results of theme education with high-quality meteorological services during flood season.
Improve the position of the station scientific deployment
Blowing the typhoon defense "storm trumpet"
"Thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on flood prevention and disaster relief work and meteorological work, base on the current severe and complex situation, further improve the political position, adhere to the people's first and life first, and strengthen monitoring, forecasting and early warning services." This is the clear requirement put forward by the party group of the China Meteorological Administration for the typhoon defense work.
Since the beginning of the flood, every time when deploying and strengthening the work of meteorological services during the flood season, the party group of the China Meteorological Administration has repeatedly stressed that it is necessary to organically integrate in-depth thematic education with doing a good job in meteorological services during the flood period, and adhere to forging the soul with learning, increasing wisdom with learning, learning the right style, and promoting work with learning.
Meteorological departments at all levels have thoroughly implemented the requirements of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, and the Party Group of the China Meteorological Administration, taken theme education as an opportunity to comprehensively sort out the blockages, difficulties and pain points in all links of the whole process of flood prevention and typhoon prevention, and constantly improve business processes and improve business capabilities.
This time, in the face of typhoons "Sura" and "Anemone", the meteorological department adhered to the "one game of chess" thinking to provide strong support for disaster prevention, mitigation and relief.
The National Meteorological Center has organized special meetings and encrypted consultations for many times, and added emergency chiefs, emergency foremen, and media service chiefs to strengthen progressive and focused services. The National Satellite Meteorological Center promptly activated the one-minute encrypted observation of the Fengyun-4 meteorological satellite to monitor the path and intensity of the typhoon in real time. The National Meteorological Information Center relies on the Tianqing Basic Information Map and the Tianqing Live Typhoon Platform to provide timely data service support. The Meteorological Detection Center of China Meteorological Administration has strengthened the application of Tianheng Tianyan observation products in emergency support services, and has cooperated with multiple units to carry out mobile typhoon observation operations in the South China Sea to provide support for improving the accuracy of typhoon path and intensity forecasting. The Meteorological Publicity and Science Popularization Center (China Meteorological News) plays the leading role of "one process and one policy" in the popularization of science for major severe weather, and cooperates with state-level business units and meteorological departments in Guangdong, Fujian and other places to coordinate and do a good job in science popularization.

In Guangdong, the Provincial Meteorological Bureau strictly implements the duty duty system, with the main leaders in front of the command, and party members and cadres charging ahead; Party members and cadres of the Dongguan Meteorological Department stick to the front line day and night, and polish the party building brand of "Wind and Rain Pioneer Post" with practical actions... They said that they must go all out to fight a tough battle against typhoon defense!
In Fujian, the Provincial Meteorological Bureau deployed typhoon defense work in advance, and the main leaders and leaders of the Provincial Meteorological Observatory were stationed in the provincial defense command for joint duty; Hong Xiaoxiang, director of the Zhangzhou Meteorological Observatory and secretary of the party branch, led the party members to open the "continuous rotation" mode; The Dongshan County Meteorological Bureau "twisted into a rope", and party members and cadres took the initiative to pick up heavy burdens and take the lead... They say, party members, you must rush to the front!

When the typhoon defense "storm trumpet" sounded, meteorological departments at all levels moved upon hearing the order, made scientific dispatches, and were fully prepared to fight a tough and protracted war, and vowed to test the results of thematic education with high-quality meteorological services during the flood season.
On September 4, Typhoon "Anemone" approached step by step, in order to accurately capture observation data and obtain first-hand data of typhoon, Zhangzhou Meteorological Bureau of Fujian Province cooperated with the expert group of Shanghai Typhoon Research Institute of China Meteorological Administration to set up meteorological emergency observation equipment in the "Zhangzhou National Meteorological Comprehensive Observation Test Field" in Gulei, Fujian.

Resist the pressure and take the pulse
Give full play to professional advantages to build a strong line of defense
On the eve of Typhoon "Sula" landfall at the Central Meteorological Observatory, chief forecaster Zhang Ling grabbed the water cup at hand twice, and when he reached his mouth, he found that the cup was already empty, so he put down the cup and continued to analyze the path and intensity of the typhoon... In order to accurately predict typhoons "Sula", "Anemone" and "Hongyan", Zhang Ling and other forecasters have been busy for a week.
At that time, the three typhoons were "pulling" each other, and the complex weather system added resistance to the typhoon's position judgment. But forecast uncertainty motivates forecasters.
"There will definitely be anxiety and stress about whether the forecast is accurate." Xu Yinglong, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said that in the end, forecasters still need to resist the pressure to make a judgment, which is likely to be directly related to disaster prevention emergency resource scheduling and manpower deployment, "so we will do our best to take all aspects into account and keep the forecast as close to the real situation as possible." ”
On the evening of September 1, affected by "Sula", heavy rain to heavy rain occurred in Zijin County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province, Zijin County Meteorological Bureau closely monitored, timely warned, and "called" relevant departments and township leaders to do a good job in prevention.

Not only the Central Meteorological Observatory, but also in Guangdong and Fujian, in the areas that may be affected by Typhoons "Sura" and "Sea Anemone", meteorological stations are often brightly lit, business signals are constantly accessed, telephones continue to ring, forecasters some keep an eye on rolling satellite cloud maps, some search databases combine historical similar typhoon paths for research and judgment, some apply meteorological disaster comprehensive risk survey results to analyze the impact of typhoon disasters, and some strengthen guidance for grassroots forecasting operations... Adhering to the ultimate pursuit of "timeliness and accuracy", forecasters rise to the challenge, turn solid business skills and years of accumulated forecasting experience into scientific forecasting and early warning information, and integrate into the overall situation of disaster prevention and mitigation and emergency linkage along the progressive service chain——
On August 29, the China Meteorological Administration launched a typhoon level 4 emergency response, which was upgraded to level 2 on the 30th, and adjusted to a level 3 emergency response for heavy rain on September 5. During this period, orange and red warnings for typhoons and yellow warnings for heavy rain were issued one after another, providing a decision-making basis for coping with the impact of typhoon landfall and subsequent wind and rain.
On September 5, rainfall from Typhoon Anemone continued. The Longwen District Meteorological Bureau of Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province ensured that personnel braved the rain to repair the automatic weather station to ensure the accurate and timely transmission of meteorological data.

In the face of the possible adverse effects of Typhoon "Sea Anemone", the Meteorological Bureau of Fuqing City, Fujian Province, and the municipal water conservancy department strengthened information sharing and consultation and judgment. The Municipal Flood Control and Drought Control Headquarters opened the Dongzhang Reservoir from August 27 to September 2 by fully considering the meteorological forecast and downstream water conditions, creating sufficient flood conditions for the short-term heavy precipitation brought by the "sea anemone". As of 8 o'clock on September 5, the Dongzhang Reservoir intercepted 21.52 million cubic meters of precipitation upstream, greatly reducing the flood control pressure in the downstream central urban area and the townships along the route.
Affected by Typhoon "Sea Anemone", Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province experienced heavy rainstorms, and due to heavy rainfall upstream, the Shanzai Reservoir was opened and released from September 3. Text: Zhan Yuan Photography: Li Na
