History
The agency was originally established in December 1949 as the Central Military Commission Meteorological Bureau. It replaced the Central Weather Bureau formed in 1941. In 1994, the CMA was transformed from a subordinate governmental body into one of the public service agencies under the State Council.[http://www.cma.gov.cn/english/About_us/t20070619_198704.phtml CMA.gov history] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516091335/http://www.cma.gov.cn/english/About_us/t20070619_198704.phtml |date=2008-05-16 }}
