The Bayanbulak Field Experiment Base is located in Bayanbulak Town, Hejing County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, at an altitude of 2,459 meters. The underlying surface of the base is a typical alpine meadow, with an annual precipitation of 250-300 mm. The base is funded by Renovation and Purchase Project in 2019 from the Ministry of Finance (20190141031022301), the Key Research and Development Program of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (2023B03019), and the Station Network Project in 2024. It was jointly established by the Institute of Desert Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Artificial Weather Modification Center, and the Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture Meteorological Bureau in May 2024. The base mainly conducts continuous monitoring of cloud water resources in alpine mountainous areas and carries out scientific experiments on artificial water augmentation using sound waves, drones, and intelligent flame furnaces. Currently, the experiment base is equipped with 2D video disdrometer, laser disdrometer, GNSS/MET water vapor detector, X-band dual-polarization radars, phased-array radar, Ka-band millimeter-wave cloud radar, micro-rain radar, laser ceilometer, microwave radiometer, fog droplet spectrometer, aerosol radar, integrated cloud measuring instrument, and millimeter-wave cloud meters. These devices are used to comprehensively monitor cloud water resource parameters such as atmospheric temperature, humidity, and water vapor content; total precipitation and intensity, rainfall rate, raindrop velocity, raindrop size and shape, Doppler radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, cloud height, coverage, and sky condition index, vertical visibility and other critical cloud water resource metrics in the Tianshan region.
