After more than 50 years of development, the Xianghe station (XH), Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been equipped with comprehensive detection capabilities covering from the boundary layer to the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere. As one of the few atmospheric integrated field scientific test stations in the world, XH has joined a number of important networks. Many large international field campaigns have been carried out. Long-term continuous observation data are widely used to study exchange of energy and mass in the middle and upper atmosphere, atmospheric physical chemistry and air quality in the boundary layer, as well as assess and forecast solar energy. We would pursue the continuous development of advanced detection instruments to improve our detection capabilities of the thermodynamic properties of the middle and upper atmosphere as well as the physical and chemical processes within the boundary layer. Observation, testing and research will then be integrated to improve our understanding of the critical processes of the middle atmosphere, weather and climate effect of air pollution control measures, thereby, providing technological support for national climate and environmental diplomacy and national security.
