What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Xiaohui, have all the data uploaded from various sites been received?"

Wang Xiangjun, the chief engineer of the observation department, suddenly walked into the office area and conducted a spot check on the daily observation process.

Zhang Xiaohui quickly nodded in response, "All data has been received!"

Wang Xiangjun: "Have all the site feedback information been sent back?"

Zhang Xiaohui nodded again in reply: "All receipts have been sent!"

"Has the data anomaly labeling at key monitoring sites been completed?"

Zhang Xiaohui replied in response: "All the markers have been set up."

Seeing this, Wang Xiangjun shook his head helplessly: "Since you've already finished, don't you know how to find something to do?"

? ? ? ? ?

Zhang Xiaohui subconsciously pursed his lips.

I was thinking, "Are you even human?"

I am a real cow or horse, but you certainly don't have a horse.

You're just a director, not some big leader, why bother?

You just wait, one day when I rise to power, you better not retire!

But dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel.

Right now, he's just an ordinary low-level worker, so he has to play the subservient role: "Then I'll start writing today's routine weather forecast report now."

"How about writing it like this?"

"The weather conditions across the province are generally stable today, with radar echo intensity all in the low range..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Zhang Xiaohui suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that several scattered green dots had appeared out of nowhere on the monitoring screen in front of him.

"Why!"

"The Maojianshan radar station has sent a monitoring signal!"

"The equipment detected an abnormal reflectivity value, reading approximately 17 dBZ!"

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Xiangjun looked down at his watch.

Then, turning to look at the comprehensive meteorological and topographic map hanging on the wall, he muttered to himself, "It's only noon, and convective clouds have already formed over the nearshore waters?"

Although he holds a management position in the department, his primary job is as a certified professional meteorological engineer.

As long as he has the radar echo diagram in front of him, he can accurately determine the size of the cloud layer and predict the subsequent precipitation level.

Analyzing according to conventional meteorological patterns.

Recently, the entire nearshore waters have been under the long-term influence of the subtropical high pressure, and the sea surface has been continuously exposed to strong sunlight and warmed up. A large amount of seawater evaporates, producing water vapor, which rises and condenses to form small-scale convective clouds. This is a very normal meteorological phenomenon.

To put it simply, it's just too hot.

On days like this, the mornings and middays are usually sunny and cloudless.

By evening, there was thunder and lightning.

After careful consideration and analysis, he did not classify the monitoring signal as a meteorological anomaly warning, but instead archived it as a routine meteorological monitoring signal.

"This should just be a small convective cloud cluster that formed in a localized area."

"Notify the forecasting team to pay more attention when writing forecast conclusions, and to be a little more cautious in the analysis."

"This cloud cluster is unlikely to continue to expand and grow; we just need to warn them about the risks."

Zhang Xiaohui quietly noted down the chief engineer's analysis conclusions, printed out the complete echo map of the current Maojianshan radar station, attached the professional analysis explanation from the observation department, and archived it.

The weather conditions were stable in most parts of the province, with only localized convective clouds forming in the nearshore waters of Maojianshan. The monitoring time was 13:23.

……

……

Weather radar echoes are the core basis for conducting weather forecasting and analysis.

The entire process has clearly defined work specifications:

First, the observation department completes the data compilation and summary, attaches the professional judgment conclusions of the technical supervisor, and then submits it to the higher-level forecasting department.

Under normal circumstances, data reporting has fixed time nodes.

Once signs of extreme weather events are detected, the reporting frequency will be increased immediately, and the interval between reports will be shortened.

Although scattered convective cloud activity has been detected in the waters near Maojian Island.

However, the cloud system is small in size.

The conditions are not yet present to trigger regional weather anomalies, so there is no need to designate a separate warning level. It is sufficient to arrange for observers to continuously monitor the dynamics.

"Xiaohui, from now on, review the radar monitoring footage of the Blind Island area every fifteen minutes. Report to me immediately if any abnormal fluctuations occur..."

After handing over his work, Wang Xiangjun was preparing to leave his observation post.

Can!

In the very next second!

Zhang Xiaohui suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy crap! Prices have gone up again!"

Wang Xiangjun immediately looked at the screen, his gaze focused on the real-time monitoring footage of the Maojian Island radar station.

At the bottom of the screen, the sparse color dots quickly deepened, and the scattered light blue echoes gathered and piled up, gradually coalescing into a striking green cloud-like echo.

The speed of the changes before our eyes is completely beyond conventional understanding.

Wang Xiangjun frowned, his face full of astonishment: "The rate of increase is too fast, and suddenly there's severe convective weather?!"

Zhang Xiaohui quickly chimed in, "Such a drastic change in just a few dozen seconds can only be explained by severe convective weather; there's basically no other meteorological cause."

The formation of regular rain and snow requires a gradual accumulation and slow development of water vapor in the clouds, with a relatively smooth cycle.

Only strong convective weather systems can undergo explosive evolution in a very short time, making the weather conditions change rapidly.

but.

The situation is currently under control.

The newly formed convective cloud clusters only covered a local area of ​​airspace around Maojian Island.

Due to the complex topography of the nearshore area, localized and small-scale weather anomalies are a common phenomenon in summer.

The saying "every ten miles can bring different weather" means exactly this.

It's quite normal that, often, two sides of the same road might be experiencing rain on one side and not on the other.

"Alright, let's write an exception report first..."

Before Wang Xiangjun could finish speaking, suddenly!

The image has changed again!

The light green echo blocks that were originally scattered on the screen quickly spliced ​​together and merged without warning.

What were originally scattered, fragmented clouds instantly coalesced into a continuous echo, forming a massive core area of ​​rain cloud system. The color at the very center of the cloud cluster deepened further, transforming into a bright yellow, a color that signifies heavy rainfall.

Wang Xiangjun's expression instantly turned serious.

Strange things happen every year, but there seem to be more than usual today.

"In all my years in this industry, I've never seen such rapid changes."

He immediately picked up the office phone and dialed the dedicated line to the forecasting department.

A single, small convective cloud cluster is not a cause for concern.

However, with the formation of cloud systems, their area has expanded rapidly, and their core intensity has continued to rise, giving them the potential to trigger disastrous weather.

An emergency coordinated early warning system is required.

"Hello! It's me! Wang Xiangjun!"

"..."

"Yes, it's a special situation! There's severe convective weather in the waters around Maojian Island. Please have the maritime authorities issue a warning immediately."

……

"Yes! For now, focus on recalling as many ships as possible from this area!"
