Life is inseparable from the weather, which has also brought countless convenience to life. No matter checking daily weather before going out every day or summer heat wave caused by global warming, for the sake of either a better earth or a better living environment, we need to understand weather well.
Military and history fans often have a lot to say about how the weather affects the results of wars. As early as the Cold War era, some excellent military commander has begun to pay attention to the law of weather changes, such as the ancient Chinese famous Chiyou using fog days to attack and "borrowing the wind" story of Chibi war. Even to the modern society, even the military machineries that human beings are proud of cannot be compared with the power of thousands of weathers.
Some battles of World War II were affected by some extreme weather conditions. Such as the Nazi Germany on the Soviet Union "Barbarossa" lightning plan, was defeated by the early cold wave in1941. Some later researchers believe that the Soviet Union intended to carry out a large number of artificial rainfalls, so that winter could come ahead of schedule. In the winter of 1944, Nazi Germany launched the Ardennes counterattack against the Western Allies. It was precisely because of a weather forecast of the snowstorm that the Allied aircraft could not be expected to take off hence they used the short-lived "window of advantage" to launch an attack.
The role meteorology played in these two battles just reflect the trial human of the industrial age trying to understand the mechanism of weather change, and even by artificial means to influence this change. From the protection of industrial and agricultural production, to meeting the needs of military action, mankind has been trying to put aside the mysterious veil of the weather, glimpse the mystery of rain and snow formation mechanism. Modern meteorology has made weather changes with gradually fading superstition color, weather forecast service provides a scientific basis to predict the future weather; physics and chemistry and other disciplines of progress, let artificial rainfall and artificial rain become possible.
But do these achievements mean that today we human beings have fully understood the mechanism of the Earth's weather changes? The answer is obviously no. In the summer, unexpected storms still happen, to which people could do nothing but complain about the weather forecast; some typhoon will change to strange routes which are completely unexpected by experts and causing catastrophe during sudden landing. However, people rarely succeed in driving away or weakening them. These common examples in our life constantly remind of the people complex mechanism behind the weather changes. Even in the space age with supercomputers and satellites, escalating numerical weather forecasts is still difficult to fully predict future weather trends and the longer the time, the greater the error usually will be. Attention and researches to this phenomenon even gave birth to a new discipline, that is, Atmospheric Chaos Studies famous for the "Butterfly Effect".
On the other hand, human activities on the natural environment damage also have a profound impact on global climate. Climate change has had serious consequences for the climate system, causing extreme weather events to occur more frequently and causing unpredictable disasters. In the absence of a comprehensive understanding of weather and climate change mechanisms, we have created new adverse weather and climate phenomena for short-term benefits. The negative consequences of these actions will not only be taken by us, but also by our children and grandchildren.
Knowledge is Power this month introduces some research breakthroughs on meteorology. They will provide more accurate meteorological monitoring as well as new ideas to judge weather changes, which will allow the future human beings begin to slowly control the weather, and in the face of extreme weather and weather disasters, there will be more roundabout, hence helping to interpret the mysteries of meteorology!
