1. Satellite images in large-scale weather system analysis
From the beginning of 1969, the use of foreign satellite reception and information in the seventies and eighties of last century in the Tao, etc. under the auspices of the use of satellite cloud images, from the synoptic point of view, the influence of the weather systems of the comprehensive analysis. From Japan's geostationary meteorological satellite into business since the meteorologists of the satellite observation data using this high frequency, the influence of the typhoon, and other tropical weather systems and large-scale mid-latitude weather system was more in-depth analysis.

2. Satellite data for monitoring and analysis of tropical cyclones
In the early seventies onwards, China began to use analysis of polar-orbiting satellite images of cloud-based features of typhoons, typhoons in the movement and the relationship between cloud type and the occurrence of typhoon development and the relationship between the ITCZ. On the geostationary meteorological satellite cloud cloud type of tropical cyclones and tropical cyclone characteristics of different stages of development and evolution of the cloud-based applications gradually formed a set of satellite images for tropical cyclone intensity estimation. Since the nineties, with the development of quantitative remote sensing technology, comprehensive utilization of AMSU, TRMM, Microwave Imager (TMI) and infrared radiometer data, the monitoring of tropical cyclones form and gradually by the management, qualitative analysis from the cloud, and gradually developed to analyze the internal structure of tropical cyclones.

3. Monitoring and analysis of mesoscale heavy rain clouds
Since 1985, with the quantitative remote sensing satellite capabilities, the satellite observation data in the rain, mesoscale convective clouds in such applications gradually deepened. Using a variety of remote sensing information, revealing the process of synoptic scale storm systems and the interaction between the mesoscale systems, multi-scale storm features and mesoscale convective complex (MCC) and mesoscale convective systems (MCS) in common between the and differences.
