The satellite cloud image of China Central Meteorological Observatory was taken from Fengyun-1 and other meteorological satellites.

Using satellite cloud images for analysis can improve the accuracy of weather forecast. Weather forecast is usually divided into three types: short-term weather forecast (2 ~ 3 days), medium-term weather forecast (4 ~ 9 days) and long-term weather forecast (10 ~ 15 days or more).
