2. Important activities and events of HUBEX

1)The weather: it was overcast for most part of the HUBEX b -scale region. There was a slightly rainfall within HUBEX region. The 24 to 48-hour forecasting stated that it will be clear and with no rains.

2)The Shouxian Doppler Radar: A voltage stabilizer was used for the data recorder of Shouxian Doppler radar and now it can work properly and the radar system is ready to observations.
