With the monitoring data generated by FY-3, Pakistani scientists can offer a remote sensing-based assessment of vegetation damage in locust-invaded areas.</p><p>As per CMA, Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has been using data collected from China’s CMACast, an updated satellite data broadcast system based on Digital Video Broadcasting – Satellite – Second Generation (DVB-S2) with both file and multimedia transmission capability since 2006; they have regularly posted maps sensed by Fengyun-2E (FY-2E) satellite online for various disaster prevention and mitigation authorities.</p><p

Rs26bn to fight locusts</a></i></p><p>In addition, data collected by China’s Meteorological Information Comprehensive Analysis and Process System (MICAPS) has been used by Pakistan to analyse and forecast weather for relevant institutions and the public.</p><p>China, on June 5, 2018, launched FY-2H meteorological satellite to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting and provide better meteorological services to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), CMA told China Economic Net.</p><p>The number of countries using Fengyun satellite data has increased to 108
