The Yingkou centennial meteorological museum is the first museum in the world on WMO certificated Long-Term (for more than 100 years) Meteorological Station. These WMO certificated centennial observing stations with their long-term measurements, the Yingkou meteorological station as one of the representatives, are the backbone of both weather forecasting and climate science. It is highly important that we ensure the long-term sustainability of these measurements. The Yingkou meteorological station is the earliest one in weather observation in Northeast of China. It is an exemplar of collective contribution to the world from many meteorological stations of China, as one of the important Members of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The Yingkou meteorological station provides evidence of long-term historical series of meteorological data from China for global change monitoring and researches. The Yingkou meteorological station, together with other WMO certificated centennial stations, are part of the irreplaceable cultural and scientific heritage of mankind that serve the needs of current and future generations for long-term high quality climate records. Best wishes to the station and museum, it is believed that it will continue to do its best to serve the needs of both, the local economic and social development, and the well-being of the mankind, and continue to make a greater and sustained contribution to the global observing system of the World Meteorological Organization.
