Extended data:

Until the early 1950s, the weather forecast was based on the principle of meteorology. With the development of computing technology and detection technology, in addition to the conventional weather chart method combined with mathematical statistics method for forecasting, meteorological radar and satellite detection data are applied to forecasting business, and numerical forecasting methods are developed.

This method predicts the physical process of the atmosphere by determining the conservation principle of atmospheric mass, energy and momentum, which significantly improves the quality of weather situation forecast, thus promoting the objective quantification of weather forecast.
