诺阿削减了北部8个地点的天气气球发射,很可能使恶劣天气预测恶化。 NOAA cuts weather balloon launches in 8 northern sites, likely worsening severe weather forecasts.

国家气象局正在减少八个北部地点的天气气球发射,专家说,随着恶劣天气季节的临近,预报的准确性将下降。 The National Weather Service is cutting back on weather balloon launches in eight northern locations, which experts say will worsen forecast accuracy as severe weather season approaches. 这些气球每天在约100个地点发射两次,为预测天气状况提供了关键数据。 These balloons, launched twice daily in about 100 locations, provide crucial data for predicting weather conditions. 这一行动是在NOAA裁员之后采取的,使人担心发射的减少将使预测更加困难和具有潜在危险性。 The move follows job cuts at NOAA, leading to concerns that the reduction in launches will make forecasting more difficult and potentially dangerous.
