1.1 General introduction of CMACast
CMACast is t$e ne-t generation satellite "ata .roa"cast system of CMA .ase" on D:/<)2

component of CMA national an" international meteorological "ata transmission networ0 an" t$e
main me"ia for national an" international "ata "issemination. CMACast is also a ma?or
