2. Important activities and events of HUBEX

1)The Fuyang weather radar and the Huainan Doppler radar have captured the first rainfall event occurred within the IOP during the 11-12 June.

2)Headquarter directors (in total 4 persons from the headquarter) went to Shouxian and Fengtai for solving the power supply problem to the two Doppler radars.
