图形工作站在水文气象预报中的应用

图形工作站以其强大的图形处理功能得到日益广泛的应用。对于水文气象预报领域中所处理的信息数据，最直观的表示方法是图形，普通微机在图形处理方面不能满足水文气象预报的要求，而使用图形工作站则能使数据和图形密切结合。通过介绍图形工作站的基本构成及其在水文气象预报中的一些应用成果，以展示图形工作站在水文气象预报应用中的广阔前景。

A briefing on flood monitoring/forecasting techniques for Yangtze River

The water regime monitoring and flood forecast are indispensable important means to eliminate or mitigate the flood damage and to ensure the Three Gorges Project's safe construction and operation aswell as to harness and develop the Yangtze River. Studying the techniques of monitoring and forecasting the river water regime is one of basic research works of optimizing the regulation of the Yangtze's flood control system with the Three Gorges Project as a pivot and enhancing the comprehensive benefits of the flood control. In this paper, the main contents of research studies are first summarized; and then the findings of 5 sub-topic and their academic and benefit analysis are presented, including the information acquisition, transfer,recieving and processing of data, establishment of data base, set-up of the expert interactive flood forecast system, and the storm flood monitoring and forecasting, etc.
