BEIJING — As nearly 190,000 dancers, politicians, soldiers and fighter pilots prepared for the highly synchronized extravaganza marking the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China on Thursday, perhaps no one was feeling more performance anxiety than Guo Hu, Beijing’s chief weatherman.

While meteorologists in much of the world are simply charged with forecasting rain or shine, Mr. Guo and his colleagues at the Beijing Municipal Meteorological Station were also responsible for making sure the weather is of the crowd-pleasing variety. “If we make a mistake with our work, the impact will be huge,” Mr. Guo, a soft spoken scientist, told a news conference this week. “We are under a lot of pressure.”

Meteorologists said their efforts to prevent foul weather on Oct. 1 involved satellites, 400 scientists, cloud-probing lasers and a squadron of transport planes capable of sprinkling liquid nitrogen into pregnant clouds. “It is the first time in Chinese history that artificial weather modification on such a large scale has been attempted,” Cui Lianqing, an air force meteorologist, told Global Times newspaper last week.

NeRd aLeRt!

The architecture firm Populous (nee HOK Sport) is now in the process of designing and building two Olympic stadiums. This design for Sochi, the winter games in 2014 was just unveiled. taking hints from beijing much?

Their design for the 2012 summer games in London is perhaps less flashy, but more praiseworthy for its sustainable approach. The stadium will seat 80,000 people for the games, then be deconstructed to a more reasonable 25,000 seat venue, more likely to achieve permanent occupancy.
