On June 25, GRAPES regional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) system independently developed by China Meteorological Administration (CMA) was updated to version 5.0, which has realized the 3 km resolution rapid circulation assimilation prediction at 3-hour interval. It has further elevated nowcasting prediction operational capacity, which can meet the demand of NWP of severe convection at local level, in particular, severe and extreme weather events, and provide scientific support for seamless smart grid prediction service in the whole country.
