## Editorial
China Meteorological Administration (CMA) is China's national meteorological authority, responsible for weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and the country's operational Earth-observation satellite programme. CMA operates the Fengyun satellite system, which marks its 50th anniversary of operation.[^wmo-fy50] The Fengyun programme spans two orbital families: the FY-3 series of polar-orbiting meteorological satellites and the FY-4 series of geostationary meteorological satellites, operated through CMA's National Satellite Meteorological Center (NSMC).[^nsmc-fy3c-delivery] CMA instruments carried on the Fengyun platform include the Microwave Temperature Sounder-3 (MWTS-3), which contributes to global weather data exchange under WMO coordination.[^wmo-oscar-mwts3]
