Lesson 14-1 The Butterfly Effect
Beyond two orthree days, the world's best weather forecasts are speculative, and beyond sixor seven they are worthless.
The ButterflyEffect is the reason. For small pieces of weather -- and to a globalforecaster, small can mean thunderstorms and blizzards -- any predictiondeteriorates rapidly. Errors and uncertainties multiply, cascading upwardthrough a chain of turbulent features, from dust devils and squalls up tocontinent-size eddies that only satellites can see. The modern weather modelswork with a grid of points of the order of sixty miles apart, and even so, somestarting data has to be guessed, since ground stations and satellites cannotsee everywhere. But suppose the earth could be covered with sensors spaced onefoot apart, rising at one-foot intervals all the way to the top of theatmosphere.

练习感悟:这篇文章,我记得之前读的时候,觉得特别难读,生词多,难度大,很难懂,这次居然录了一遍就达标,感觉特别爽。
