Microwave Microwave Data provides Microwave’s Microwave program basic information that cannot be obtained from traditional satellites. This includes three -dimensional details of the storm, and what is going on inside it and what you do at night hours, as experts say.
The Nawa Declaration said that it was initially planned to cut data on June 30 to “alleviate the threat of massive cybersecurity.” The agency now says it is postponed until July 31. The peak hurricane season is usually from mid -August to mid -October.
NOAA and Navy spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for more details about the update.
Noa – which was The topic of huge government competence discounts This year – On Friday, the satellite program represents a “single data set in a strong set of prediction and modeling tools” in the National Weather Service portfolio.
“Data sources are fully able to provide a full set of advanced data and models that guarantee the gold weather that the American people deserve,” said agency spokesman.
But the Federation of Scientists concerned, Mark Alesi’s science colleague told Associated Press on Friday that the disclosure of rapid condensation and more precision predicting the possible path, from storms is very important as Climate change increases the harsh weather Experienced all over the world.
“We are not only losing the ability to make predictions better, but we also lose the ability to predict accurately as the tropical hurricane can go, if it is in the stages of development,” Alyssy said. “This data is necessary.
He added: “On the seasonal forecast interface, we will see the effects, but also on the long -term climate change front, we are now losing a basic piece of global warming.”
