研究人员利用古老的传教记录来改进对非洲数据残缺情况的气候预测。 Researchers use old missionary records to improve climate predictions in data-scarce Africa.

来自麦吉尔大学的研究人员正在利用19世纪传教记录改善非洲气候预测,非洲的历史数据稀缺,气象站很少。 Researchers from McGill University are using 19th-century missionary records to improve climate predictions in Africa, where historical data is scarce and weather stations are few. 通过将这些记录与现代气候模型相结合,它们旨在对全球升温的影响作出更准确的预测。 By combining these records with modern climate models, they aim to create more accurate projections of global warming's impact. 尽管传教士的叙述有潜在的偏差,但小组相信,这一方法可以提供对历史气候条件的宝贵洞察力,帮助决策者为极端天气事件做准备。 Despite the potential biases in the missionary accounts, the team believes this approach could provide valuable insights into historical climate conditions and help decision-makers prepare for extreme weather events.
