Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Academy of Meteorological Research (hereinafter referred to as GBA Academy) is a national science and technology innovation platform that serves the construction of GBA, the goal of meteorological modernization, and the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” national strategy. China Meteorology Administration (CMA) approved to set up GBA Academy in 2023, which is centered on the Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Marine Meteorology, CMA, and integrates various meteorological scientific research institutions in the Bay Area.

GBA Academy is currently staffed with a team of 122 people. Among them, 32 are Researchers/Professors of Engineering, 42 are Associate Researchers/Senior Engineers, 63 have doctoral degrees, and 45 have master's degrees.

GBA Academy has launched 3 research centers, which are an observation, experiment, and mechanism research center for tropical meteorology, a key technology research center for numerical forecasting in the tropical zone and a meteorological research center for tropical environment, as well as a center for research transformation and academic exchange.

GBA Academy is equipped with 4 field scientific experiment sites and 2 key laboratories of provincial and ministerial level. Among them, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Regional Numerical Weather Prediction, CMA (hereinafter referred to as the "Key Laboratory") is a key laboratory jointly built by The People's Government of Guangdong Province and CMA in 2012. Zeng Qingcun, the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was appointed as the director of the academic committee of Key Laboratory.
