ITP joins hands with Tibet Meteorological Bureau in academic research


May 24, 2013, ITP director Prof. YAO Tandong was invited to visit the Tibet Meteorological Bureau (TMB) in Lhasa, together with ITP deputy directors MA Yaoming and ZHU Liping, and Mr. AN Baosheng of the general office. Mr. WANG Pengxiang, CPC Committee Secretary of the TMB and Ms. Lazhuo, director of the TMB welcomed them and briefly reviewed the work of TMB in weather and environment study throughout Tibet.

The ITP delegates were later introduced to the TMB Weather Station, Tibetan Plateau Research Institute of Atmospheric Environment (or Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) Center for Remote Sensing Application), and TMB Meteorological Service Center.

Both sides agreed to pursue further collaboration revolving around the following three aspects: 1) to share the meteorological weather stations and field observation monitoring stations in joint academic research of the atmospheric processes and geological hazards monitoring; 2) to apply the academic edge to better serving regional sustainable development, and to delivering a scientifically solid assessment of ecosystem and environment of Tibet; and 3) to jointly establish a platform for meteorological and remote sensing data sharing, and thus providing a strong database backup for academic research.

Memorandum of Understanding was signed between ITP and TMB to solidify the collaboration in data sharing, joint academic research, young scientists cultivation, and laboratory co-construction, with an ultimate goal to promote academic research and scientific development for TAR.
