Abstract: The appearance and evolution of the term ‘Space Weather' suggest the inevitability of the initiation of space weather operation and the natural connections between space weather operation and other meteorological operations. As an essential part of the Chinese meteorological operation system, the CMA space weather operation is achieving significant successes in observation, forecast, service as well as R & D. Nevertheless, space weather operation is still far from maturity and the possible breakthrough should be made in productive services.
