Fy-4b is the first operational satellite of the new generation of geostationary meteorological satellite in China. It has been tested in orbit since its launch on June 3. On July 1, the satellite successfully acquired the first batch of high-precision, high-time visible light observation images. These images can intuitively display the fine structure of convective cloud clusters, and the temporal and spatial resolution is increased from 5 minutes and 500 meters to 1 minute and 250 meters respectively, which improves the continuous and rapid monitoring ability of small and medium scale cloud clusters, and is of great significance for the monitoring and early warning of severe convective weather, especially for the monitoring of sudden small and medium scale weather systems.
