2. Important activities and events of HUBEX

1) The weather: The medium to heavy rainfalls still located at southern part of the Changjiang river. It was no rain within Huaihe River Basin.

2) On-the-spot inspection: The automatic frequency adjustment component still can not work properly. The HUBEX headquarter dispatched Professor Ge Wenzhong who is responsible for Fuyang radar observations go to the radar site to solve the Fuyang radar problem. Also the headquarter dispatched two persons for inspection of Fuyang radar and go to Shouxian for coordinating the continuous power supply.
