气象学家考虑修改 Saffir-Simpson 飓风等级,因为风暴风险超出风速。 Meteorologists consider revising the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale due to increased storm risks beyond wind speed.
气象学家正在考虑修改萨菲尔-辛普森规模,该规模将飓风按风速分类,因为飓风造成的与水有关的危险日益增加,如暴雨和风暴潮。 Meteorologists are considering a revision of the Saffir-Simpson scale, which classifies hurricanes by wind speed, due to the increasing water-related dangers they pose, such as heavy rainfall and storm surges. 提议的替代办法包括根据海平面压力或预期降雨量对飓风进行分类。 Proposed alternatives include categorizing hurricanes based on sea level pressure or anticipated rainfall. 现有规模的熟悉使潜在变化复杂化,特别是气候变化加剧了风暴的频率和严重程度,突出表明需要建立更相关的预警系统。 The existing scale's familiarity complicates potential changes, especially as climate change intensifies storm frequency and severity, highlighting the need for a more relevant warning system.
