Abstract: To serve disaster prevention and agricultural output increment, and provide evidence for further development of the team of meteorological information staff in rural areas, the authors analyzed the characteristics, influencing factors and trends of the development of village-level meteorological information staff in Sichuan during 2000-2016, and pointed out the existing problems and countermeasures. The results showed that: (1) the number of the meteorological information staff increased year by year, especially from 2008 to 2015, which had a liner increase, but became stable since 2015; (2) the resource and classification of the staff developed from single to rich and had an obvious variation from 2009 to 2011, but became stable later; (3) the staff structure was continuously optimized, the personal ratio of high school and university degree increased rapidly while that of aging reduced quickly to 25% from 2008 to 2010, and became stable since 2011 with the majority of staff with higher education degree and were 30 to 50 years old; (4) the ratios of both training and sampling were rapidly decreased from 2008 to 2012, but became stable since 2012, while it had a poor level in sampling. The team of meteorological information staff in rural areas has developed from nothing in the past decade in Sichuan, the quality of human resource has been improved as well, but the overall situation is still not ideal. Staff training and management should be strengthened, and government investment should be increased to ensure the further development of the team.
