VOA常速英语:新型天气预测技术在阿姆斯特丹揭开帷幕

In this age of climates change predicting the weather is increasingly becoming not only a matter of recommending an umbrella but perhaps saving lives.
在气候变化的时代，天气预报越来越不光是推荐雨伞，更重要的是能拯救生命。

And some of the best ways to predict what’s going on outside were on display this week in Amsterdam.
本周在阿姆斯特丹展出的是一些预测窗外事的好方法。

This modeling software incorporates all kinds of weather data to give a readout of what it calls critical weather intelligence so instead of a decision-maker having to look at sea surface temperature and Saharan dust levels and a bunch of different products.
这个建模软件集成了所有的天气数据，能显示给人们它所谓的重大天气智能数据，因此不需要一个决策人去观测海平面或者撒哈拉沙漠的撒哈拉沙尘水平以及一系列不同的产物。

We boil that down to a very symbol: green means a hurricane is going to weaken,yellow means the hurricane is going to stay the same and red means the hurricane is going to intensify.
我们把它简化为某个有用的符号：绿色意味着飓风将减弱，黄色意味着飓风将保持不变，红色意味着飓风将加剧。

But weather sensor is only good if it can withstand the weather it’s monitoring.That’s where the FT7 weather sensor comes into play.
FT7气象传感器只有能禁得住它监测的恶劣天气才算是真的发挥作用了。这才是FT7为什么被投入使用的原因。

So the FT wind sensor’s big advantage is its robustness and therefore it can survive in harsh environments and allow weather forecasters and meteorologists to have data available not only before major events but during major events.
因此，FT风力传感器的最大优点是它的坚固性，因此它能在恶劣的环境中生存，并使得气象预报员和气象学家在重大事件之前和重大事件期间都能获得数据。

Drones are also entering weather prediction arena, the meteo drones can reach out altitudes of 2.5 kilometers.
无人驾驶飞机也将被投入天气预测行业。气象无人机可以飞到2.5公里的高度。

The analogy is quite similar to the weather balloon.We are taking direct measurement readings of the so-called prognostic variables like temperature, wind direction,air pressure and humidity and go out with that into the short-term forecast.And this significant we can improve fog forecast and aerosol forecast.
类推到气象气球，这两者很相似。我们正在对温度、风向、气压和湿度等所谓的预测变量进行直接测量读数，并将其与短期预报进行比较。这有助于提高大雾预报和气溶胶预报的准确性。

But depending on the day, all this tech may be at its most valuable when it reminds you to bring your umbrella to work.
但说不定，所有这些技术最有价值的还是提醒你今天上班要带伞的时候。
