Now satellites(衛(wèi)星)are helping to forecast(預(yù)報(bào))the weather. They are in space and they can reach any part of the world.The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大氣), because this is where the weather forms(形成)。They send these pictures to the weather station. So meteorologists(氣象專家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures,the meteor- ologists compare(比較)them with earlier ones. Peerhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours .This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change,too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon,perhaps , they may be ablet to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前)
