[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) announced on the 28th that it will hold a special photo exhibition to commemorate the first anniversary of the data service from the Cheollian Satellite 2A.

The Cheollian Satellite 2A was launched in December 2018 from French Guiana, South America, and began official operations on July 25 of last year.

The high-resolution color images and 52 types of customized meteorological products from the Cheollian Satellite 2A have been utilized in various fields such as weather observation, numerical and ultra-short-term forecasting, climate monitoring, and disaster response. Early detection of localized heavy rainfall development has become possible, and the observation of typhoon center locations and movement paths has become more accurate.

The KMA will simultaneously hold the special photo exhibition until the 31st of next month at four Meteorological Science Centers nationwide under the National Meteorological Satellite Center. The exhibition will showcase satellite photos and videos of typhoons, clouds, fog, and more observed by the Cheollian Satellite 2A. Related events will be held, with small prizes provided.
