美国削减预算威胁到全球地球观测,有可能到2027年在天气和气候监测方面造成数据缺口。 U.S. budget cuts threaten global Earth observation, risking data gaps in weather and climate monitoring by 2027.

美国削减预算威胁到全球地球观测能力,有可能在天气预报、气候研究和备灾方面出现长期数据差距,警告联合国支持的全球气候观测系统的Peter Thorne。 U.S. budget cuts threaten global Earth observation capabilities, risking long-term data gaps in weather forecasting, climate research, and disaster preparedness, warns Peter Thorne of the UN-backed Global Climate Observing System. 包括美国航天局和诺阿卫星、气象气球、阿尔戈浮标和太平洋浮标等关键方案都面临风险,其他国家没有立即替换。 Key programs including NASA and NOAA satellites, weather balloons, Argo floats, and Pacific buoys are at risk, with no immediate replacements from other nations. 美国提供了全世界使用的关键数据,失去这些系统会破坏全球气候监测和预警系统,有可能导致观察系统在2027年崩溃。 The U.S. provides critical data used worldwide, and losing these systems could undermine global climate monitoring and early warning systems, potentially leading to a collapse of the observing system by 2027.
