In June 2026, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed that the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite detected a major El Niño event brewing in the Pacific.
在2026年6月,美國太空總署(NASA)的噴氣推進實驗室證實,哨兵6號麥可·弗萊里奇衛星(Sǎn-tì-nəl 6 Mài-kě Fú-lái-lǐ-qí wèi-xīng)在太平洋探測到一場正在醞釀的聖嬰現象(Shèng-yīng xiàn-xiàng)。
By measuring sea surface height, scientists identified a massive pulse of warm water moving eastward, driven by Kelvin waves.
透過測量海面高度,科學家識別出由克爾文波(Kè-ěr-wén bō)驅動、正向東移動的巨大暖水團。
The event is forming on top of an already rising global temperature baseline, leading to fears that it could become a 'super' event, potentially rivaling the historic extremes of 1997.
該事件發生在全球氣溫基準已經升高的背景下,導致人們擔心它可能演變成一場「超級」事件,並可能匹敵1997年的歷史極端紀錄。
The impacts of such an event are global, ranging from increased flooding in California and South America to severe droughts in Southeast Asia and Africa.
此類事件的影響是全球性的,範圍從加州和南美洲的洪水增加,到東南亞和非洲的嚴重乾旱。
Furthermore, it shifts hurricane and typhoon patterns, posing challenges for agriculture and global trade.
此外,它還會改變颶風(Jù-fēng)和颱風(Tái-fēng)的模式,對農業和全球貿易構成挑戰。
NASA’s precise satellite data is now more critical than ever, allowing meteorologists to track these changes in real-time.
NASA精確的衛星數據如今比以往任何時候都更為關鍵,使氣象學家能夠即時追蹤這些變化。
