• “我没想到这个方法能行，可它就奏效了，给出了我们试图泥补的时间间隔非常准确的近似……我想这让每个人震惊。” “I didn’t think it would work. But, it turns out, it provides a very accurate approximation over the time gaps that we were filling in … I think it surprised everyone.”

• “气候变化、极端天气和水资源的挑战，意味着对创新、有效的气象和水文服务的需求程度前所未有。行政管理团队将强化WMO对成员的支持，在有效的服务型秘书处方面体现出领导力量。” “The challenges of climate change, extreme weather and water resources means that the need for innovative, effective meteorological and hydrological services is greater than ever before. The execu...

• “我们能够在希望的高度飞行数小时。滑翔机是一个难以置信的科学平台，因为没有其他方式获得这类数据。” “We can spend hours flying where we want. A glider is an incredible scientific platform as there’s no other way to get this sort of data.” 
  
  

• “值得高度关注的是北极海冰范围最低的10年全部发生在过去10年。尽管3月份记录到冬季海冰范围低值，但今年的数据不是一个绝对记录。然而，过去几十年北极海冰范围的大量折损的事实还是让这个记录沉甸甸。 “It is highly noteworthy that the 10 years with the lowest extent of Arctic sea ice have all been within the last 10 years. Despite a record low winter ice extent in March, this year's figure isn'...

• “上周NOAA建设‘天气有序国度’的努力前进了重要一步，国家气象局推出一个新的、高度复杂的国家水模式。新系统前所未有地输入超过8000个美国地质调查局水文站数据， “Last week, NOAA's efforts to build a "weather-ready nation" took a major step forward with the National Weather Service's launch of a new, highly-sophisticated National Water Model. Unprecedented...
