Introduction
Standard Framework and Technological Evolution
QX/T 458-2018, a key standard for the meteorological information service regulatory system, inherits and develops the classification system of QX/T 102-2009 and the naming conventions of QX/T 129-2011. It establishes a unified submission framework for 11 types of detection data, including those from ground-based meteorological stations and radar. Together with the 2017 "Measures for the Administration of Submission of Meteorological Detection Data," this framework forms a dual guarantee mechanism of "technical standards + administrative regulations."
| Version Comparison Dimensions | QX/T 102-2009 | QX/T 458-2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Data Classification | 6 Major Categories | 11 Major Categories (Newly Added Satellite, Disaster, etc.) |
| Media Requirements | Unspecified | Electronic Priority + Paper Dual-Track System |
| Metadata Specifications | Simple Description | Structured Template (Appendix B) |
Analysis of Core Elements
4.1 Data Classification System
The 11-category coding system established in Appendix A, including SURF (surface) and UPAR (upper air), requires special attention:
- Scientific Experiment Data (SCEX) must indicate the project number
- GNSS sounding data is classified as UPAR
- Derivative data must be marked with the original data source
5.2 Special Requirements for Electronic Files
The naming of electronic files follows the "Z_RADI_I_58321_20160506120000_O.TXT" structure, where:
Typical Case: Naming analysis of data files from a radiation station in Hefei, Anhui Province:
Z_RADI_I_58321_20160506120000_O_340120160001_PQC_CCA.TXT
- PQC stands for quality control identification
- CCA stands for the first correction report
Implementation difficulties and countermeasures
Metadata reporting strategy
For the metadata template in Appendix B, it is recommended that:
- Establish a metadata automatic extraction tool to obtain equipment information from the automatic weather station log
- Historical evolution data (Appendix C) adopts an incremental update mechanism
Key points for the implementation of the dual-track system
