一些欧洲的企业公司集团目前正着手研制一种能预报出象去年10月曾袭击过英国东南部的那种暴风的激光.这种激光源将被装置在绕地球运转的人造卫星上,它可以很早就探测出那类可能发展成飓风的风型. 去年12月,欧洲空间委员会对两项涉及发展这种激光的公司进行了奖励,其中一家公司是由英国电子公司领导,将研制一种CO_2激光,而另一家公司将研制一种能在较短波长下工作的激光. 据英国电子公司的市场销售部门的总经理约翰·欧科勒透露,可以采用两种激光技术进行气象预报,因而欧洲空间委员会将授权这两大公司集团一道进行这种研究,以确定那一种激光技术更适宜于从空间发射以监测风型的变化.
Some European conglomerates are currently working on a laser that predicts the kind of storm that hit southern England in October last year and will be mounted on orbiting satellites that can Early detection of such a type of wind that could develop into a hurricane last December, the European Space Commission rewarded two companies involved in the development of the laser, one of which was led by a British electronics company to develop a CO_2 laser, while another company will develop a laser that can operate at shorter wavelengths, according to John O’Corral, general manager of marketing at British Electronics Corp., which uses two laser technologies for weather forecasting, so Europe The Space Commission will authorize the two groups of companies to conduct such a study together to determine which laser technology is better suited to launch from space to monitor changes in wind patterns.
