Lack of high space and time resolution and high quality data of atmospheric observations is still a big obstacle influencing the improvement of numerical weather prediction and further investigation in atmospheric sciences. To overcome this problem, not only the meteorological observation network has to be equipped with automated, higher precision, and more economical devices and instruments, but also a synthetic mobile observation system is required for filling in the data gaps between the surface and upper air sounding stations. However, it is not economical and little possible to set up and operate a new and independent mobile observation network even on the regional scale. Along with the advance of transport platform and communication technology, there is high potential and feasibility to build a 3 dimension mobile system for monitoring the global atmosphere and its environment by using commercial transport platforms such as airplane, ship, train and autobus.
Key words： Atmosphere; Observation; Mobile monitoring system.
