The China Meteorological Administration has launched an international user disaster prevention and mitigation emergency support mechanism for Fengyun meteorological satellites, providing multi-source satellite data and product services to Nepal. The National Satellite Meteorological Center conducts intensive observations in the debris flow disaster area at the Gyirong-Jheshwari Pass, continuously tracking weather changes using Fengyun-4B satellite images, precipitation estimates, C-star lightning monitoring, and Fengyun-3G satellite precipitation data. At the same time, it coordinates the acquisition of satellite data from高分, environmental, and resource satellites to produce three-dimensional images before and after disasters, as well as products on river changes and barrier lake distributions. The service system customized for Nepal by the China Meteorological Administration is real-time connected with Fengyun meteorological satellite products, including rapid scanning imaging and satellite lightning monitoring, supporting the monitoring of convective weather and lightning activity. Currently, China has produced several English-language monitoring and analysis materials, participated fully in Sino-Nepalese joint weather consultations, and relies on the “Mazu” Nepal Cloud customized version to real-time update global lightning density and other observation products, providing support for cross-border disaster monitoring and emergency meteorological services between China and Nepal.
