卫星发射现场,福罗里达州,1968年

一颗用于跟踪云层变化的气象卫星在1968年发射升空.尽管这四十年里,气象预报技术不断发展,然而预测地球表面20英里(32公里)内的空气变化依然是很艰难和复杂的任务.





英文注释：
Satellite Launch, Floida, 1968

A weather satellite launched in 1968 promised to help track clouds on Earth. Even with the technological advances of the past four decades, predicting what will happen in the 20-mile-deep (32-kilometer-deep) blanket of air that contains all of Earth's weather proves to be a fiendishly complex task.
