The meteorological ground minute data has characteristics including various elements, large amounts of information and high frequency generation, therefore the traditional relational database system has some problems such as server overload and low read and write performance in data storage and management. With the research of storage model of distributed databases HBase, the database model of the meteorological ground minute data was proposed to achieve distributed storage of massive meteorological data and meta-information management, in which the row key was designed by the method of time plus station number. When processing the complex meteorological query case, the response time of unique index in HBase is too long. To address this defect and meet the requirements of retrieval time efficiency, with considering the query case, API interface offered by search engine solr was used to establish secondary index for related field. The experimental results show that this system has high efficiency of storage and index, the maximum storage efficiency can be up to 34000 records/s. When generic query cases return, the time consuming can be down to millisecond level. This method can satisfy the performance requirements of large-scale meteorological data in business applications.
