“Meteorology and Environmental monitoring development program – 2025” has been developed and very soon will be submitted to the Government of Mongolia for an approval. This program will be implemented in two stages 2016-2020, 2021-2025.

Meteorology and Environmental monitoring development program Goals To provide more accurate weather forecasting and climate and environmental data, to reduce the risks natural disasters, and environmental pollution, to bring the quality of the meteorological service for Air navigation to the international level, To expand the observational network, to develop and upgrade technology and software for receiving, processing, exchanging and disseminating the information, to bring activities of meteorological, hydrological and environmental integrated data base to modern level, and to provide with qualified personnel; To expand the scope of assessment of environmental conditions and to improve remote sensing, To reduce the risk of drought and desertification, to increase efficiency of weather modification and precipitation enhancement activities, Develop a market for meteorological, hydrological and environmental information services, meet the needs of the society,

Conclusion Increase meteorological and environmental monitoring networks and renovation of technique and technology. Establishment of Radar network, installation of AWS in all observational stations and posts. Capacity building on human resources
