Regional Climate Monitoring and Assessment in the Belt and Road

Abstract

Abstract The Belt and Road is the abbreviation of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. The countries along the Belt and Road routes are generally highly sensitive and vulnerable to climate change, so it is urgent to design a service platform for climate change prediction and monitoring. In this paper, based on the various demands of climate change prediction and monitoring, we analyzed the importance of the establishment of a climate service platform and the main measures to improve the capabilities of climate service platform. According to the principle of “refinement, systematization and specialization”, a meteorological service platform was designed, which are based on space remote sensing, supplemented by airborne remote sensing, and verified by the ground observation network to verify that the real-time monitoring and prediction of sky and ground integration. The platform can provide scientific basis for the countries along the routes, and improve the infrastructure construction progress and personnel safety along the Belt and Road.
