Institute of Urban Meteorology, CMA, Beijing
Institute of Urban Meteorology, CMA, Beijing (hereinafter referred to as IUM) was founded in 1974. In 1997, based on the Beijing Institute of Meteorological Sciences, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and Beijing Municipal People's Government jointly jointly established the Urban Meteorological Engineering and Technology Research Center, Beijing. In 2002, with the reform of national public welfare research institutes, it, one of the eight national professional institutes of the China Meteorological Administration.In 2006, it was awarded a post-doctoral workstation, in 2011, Urban Meteorology Research-Beijing International Science and Technology Cooperation Base, and in 2013, Urban Meteorology Research-National International Science and Technology Cooperation Base. In October 2018, it, approved by CMA and was officially renamed as "Institute of Urban Meteorology, Beijing".
As a scientific research institution specializing in urban meteorological research, IUM is committed to strengthening the construction of urban meteorological disciplines based on the strategic needs of national urbanization and ecological civilization construction, conducting basic applied research and research and development of applied technologies in urban boundary layer and atmospheric environment, fine urban meteorological forecasting, urban climate and ecological development, and providing scientific and technological support to enhance the ability of urban meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, the ability of ecological civilization meteorological security and the ability to cope with climate change.
In 2016, IUM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) framework agreement on strategic cooperation with the School of Atmospheric and Geographical Sciences of the University of Oklahoma, U.S.A. for joint research and development of high-resolution observation data quality control technology and assimilation application technology. In 2017, IUM established the Joint Urban Meteorological Project (JUMP) jointly with the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), focusing on basic and applied research in the field of urban meteorology. As a result, a mechanism for the exchange of disciplines between the two sides was established, so as to drive the training of talents in the field of urban meteorology.
In order to further strengthen the training of high-level talents, give full play to the leading and radiating role in the meteorological science and technology innovation system, effectively enhance the core competitiveness of scientific and technological innovation, the recruitment of high-level talents is now launched, to meet the needs of support for the capital's safe operation, flood season and major national events, and the Winter Olympics as well as scientific research development.
北京城市气象研究院(以下简称“城市院”)前身为北京市气象科学研究所，成立于1974年。1997年，基于北京市气象科学研究所，中国气象局与北京市人民政府共同组建“北京城市气象工程技术研究中心”;2002年，经国家公益类科研院所改革，成为中国气象局“一院八所”国家级专业研究所之一，中国气象局北京城市气象研究所。2006年授牌博士后工作站，2011年授牌城市气象研究-北京市国际科技合作基地，2013年授牌城市气象研究-国家国际科技合作基地。2018年10月，获得中国气象局批复，正式更名为“北京城市气象研究院”。
城市院是专业从事城市气象科学研究的科研机构，围绕国家城镇化和生态文明建设战略需求，加强城市气象学科建设，在城市边界层与大气环境、城市气象精细预报、城市气候与生态发展等方面开展应用基础研究和应用技术研发，为提升城市气象防灾减灾能力、生态文明气象保障能力和应对气候变化能力等提供科技支撑。
2016年，与美国俄克拉荷马大学大气和地理科学学院签署了战略合作谅解备忘录框架协议，联合研究发展高分辨率观测资料质量控制技术和同化应用技术。2017年，与美国大学大气研究联盟联合建立“城市气象国际联合研究中心(JUMP)”，重点在城市气象领域开展基础和应用研究，并建立双方学科交流互访机制，以此带动城市气象领域的人才培养。
为进一步加强城市院高层次人才队伍建设，充分发挥在气象科技创新体系中的引领和辐射作用，有效地提升科技创新的核心竞争力，结合首都安全运行、汛期及重大国事活动、冬奥等气象保障的科研业务发展需求，现启动高层次人才招聘。诚邀海内外高层次人才加盟城市院，共同追逐梦想，共创辉煌未来。
