Abstract: The Tibet Plateau covers a huge area with deep valleys and high mountains. The in-situ observations are very sparse on the Tibet Plateau. Satellite observation may complement in-situ observation by taking the advantage of the wide coverage and the high frequent observations. In comparison with the first and second Tibetan Plateau experiments of atmospheric sciences, observing capability has been improved and great progress has been made by the Fengyun polar orbiting satellite and geostationary satellite. The spatial resolution of the Fengyun polar orbiting satellite was improved from 1 km to 250m and the temporal resolution was shortened from 1 hour to 15 minutes. The engaging Fengyun satellite observation and the real utilization of long-time series of data and products derived from Fengyun satellites and other satellites will promote the third Tibetan Plateau experiment of atmospheric sciences and the following atmospheric science research on the Tibetan Plateau. Satellite observation will make great contributions in the following six aspects, such as providing more frequent observations over the Tibet Plateau, analyzing weather systems and climate characters in the past 30 years, studying on the calibration and positioning of long-time series of satellite data, producing the basic remote sensing product datasets with long-time series, analyzing the climate and ecoenvironment changes and developing a new methodology to improve the physical parameterization in the numerical model with the utilization of the Fengyun satellite data and products.
