Meteorological Information Industry In China Industrial Development

Meteorological service industry is a kind of economic activity scope with the center of meteorological production and meteorological service. Compare with the meteorological industry, meteorological service industry consists of scientific research, education, social security, etc. So, meteorology and meteorological industry in this paper only refer to meteorological information industry. Meteorological production is the course of working of meteorological products. Meteorological service is the value realization process of meteorological products and it is also a kind of products. In market economy, meteorological production has two ways, pure production and target production. Pure production is only for gaining the meteorological data from the beginning to the end, which belong to scientific activity for reality. Target production is a kind of information products process for meeting people's demands, which belong to technological activity for usage. People adopt different measures to fulfill their needs that include commercial production activity and public production activity. Broad sense of meteorological production consists of the whole process of production and realization.It is the 'object' property and 'fortune rights' property of meteorological products that determines not only the dual-essences of public owned object and non-public owned object of meteorological products, but also the importance of government's investment in the industry of meteorological information industry and the dual-organizing essence of China's meteorological information industry. That is to say, the meteorological production activity organized by meteorological management department is a public welfare process and a non- public welfare process as well, which reflects that government takes dual-actor responsibilities of 'merchant' and 'government functionary' in the national meteorological service.The government's dual-actor responsibilities in the meteorological service leads to the consequence of serious malpractice under the market economy system. Firstly, the meteorological service activities organized by the government can not obtain integrated information, which is needed to ensure the development of normal production activities in various fields and results in the blindness status of the state's production industry. Secondly, the efficiency of government organized production activities remains in a low level. According to the 'profit equality' rule of market economy, it is becomes more and more meaningless for government tolaunch meteorological production activities, especially the meteorological service activities. Thirdly, when public welfare service responsibility and commercial service combine to one main body, public welfare service can not be ensured and the governmental investment in public welfare service may possibly be diverted for other purpose, which leads to consequence of no public rights could be guaranteed. That is why government should focus on the protection for public rights, but not market profit seeking.If government department participates in the market competition, on behalf of the government, meteorological management department should be authorized the market enterprises status. Developing market unit and market introduction mechanism and transferring from the non-profit making to profit seeking mode can promote the development of state's meteorological cause.Form the analysis of background, relation, theory to that of status quo, train of thoughts and countermeasure, this paper made a detailed study of meteorology's transform from products to commodity, to market ability, commercialization, industrialization by employing general analysis methods of economics principles as characteristic theory. The author maintained that the reform of national meteorological industry is extremely necessary and urgent. Only by the development of meteorology's industrialization, national meteorology industry can meet the need of national economy and the rigid operational mechanism of meteorology management w...
