The MOE Key Laboratory of Mesoscale Severe Weather (LMSW) was built in the period from 1991 to 1995. Later in the year of 2000, it has been evaluated as a key laboratory of the Ministry of Education(LMSWE). The Laboratory now is one of the famous institutes in China researching on relevant fields of mesoscale severe weather.
At present, the setup of LMSWE consists of ⑴Severe Weather Observatory; ⑵Mesoscale Dynamics and Numerical Simulation;⑶Severe Weather Prediction Department;⑷Computer and Internet center. The laboratory has so far achieved remarkable results on Mesoscale Frontal Dynamics, Boundary Layer Dynamics, Severe Convective Storm Dynamics and Numerical Simulation, and has also won many different kinds of prizes in science and technology progress, ranging from national to provincial levels.
Meanwhile, the laboratory has gained significant achievements on Doppler weather radar data analysis.
During the last five years, the specialists of LMSWE had undertaken many key projects on atmosphere science. The laboratory has already won a large amount of awards, including national science and technology progress prize and provincial science progress award.
While accomplishing many research tasks, the laboratory has fostered many senior talents on mesoscale meteorology in China, including a number of masters, doctors, post doctors and foreign doctors. For many years the laboratory has cooperated closely with other national or foreign academic institutes. Fruitful results have been obtained and those activities do promote its unique influence home and abroad.
