Under the scheme, a database for sharing information is to be built by the Shanghai meteorological bureau to collect all relatedreal-time information and statistics offered by the cities. Existing advanced weather observation networks, satellite and telecommunication systems in the cities have set a good foundationfor the establishment of the regional system on weather, ecology, and environment surveillance, evaluation and information services, said experts. The regional network will center on surveillance of the urban and wetland and lake ecological situation, as well as the performance of ecological agriculture. Information to be offered includes general weather indices, road temperature, acid rain, ultraviolet, dust, sand and organic compound content in earth, phenology, weather forecast for scenic spots and parks, coastal water temperature, and changes of marshes.
