Isikhungo Sokucwaninga Nokwandisa iNorthwestern sifaka isiteshi sezulu

UMnyango Wezolimo waseMinnesota kanye nabasebenzi be-NDAWN bafake isiteshi sezulu sase-MAWN/NDAWN kusukela mhla zingama-23 kuya ku-24 kuJulayi e-University of Minnesota Crookston North Farm enyakatho ye-Highway 75. I-MAWN yi-Minnesota Agricultural Weather Network kanti i-NDAWN yi-North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network.
UMaureen Obul, umqondisi wezokusebenza eNorthwest Research and Outreach Center, uchaza indlela iziteshi ze-NDAWN ezifakwa ngayo eMinnesota. “I-ROC System, Research and Information Center, sinabantu abayi-10 eMinnesota, futhi njenge-ROC System besizama ukuthola isiteshi sezulu esizosisebenzela sonke, futhi senze izinto ezimbalwa ezingazange ziphumelele. Sisebenze kahle kakhulu. Umsakazo we-NDAWN wawulokhu usezingqondweni zethu, ngakho emhlanganweni eSao Paulo saba nengxoxo enhle kakhulu futhi sanquma ukuthi kungani singabheki i-NDAWN.”
Umphathi u-Obul kanye nomphathi wepulazi lakhe bashayele uDaryl Ritchison we-NDSU ukuze baxoxe ngesiteshi sezulu se-NDAWN. “UDaryl uthe ocingweni ukuthi uMnyango Wezolimo waseMinnesota unephrojekthi yesabelomali esingu-$3 million yokwakha iziteshi ze-NDAWN eMinnesota. Lezi ziteshi zibizwa ngokuthi i-MAWN, i-Minnesota Agricultural Weather Network,” kusho uMqondisi u-O'Brien.
UMqondisi u-O'Brien uthe ulwazi oluqoqwe esiteshini sezulu sase-MAWN luyatholakala emphakathini. “Yebo, sijabule kakhulu ngalokhu. ICrookston ibilokhu iyindawo enhle yesiteshi se-NDAWN futhi sijabule kakhulu ukuthi wonke umuntu uzokwazi ukungena esiteshini se-NDAWN noma aye kuwebhusayithi yethu bese echofoza isixhumanisi lapho bese ethola lokho akudingayo. Lonke ulwazi mayelana nendawo.”
Isiteshi sezulu sizoba yingxenye ebalulekile yesikhungo sesayensi nezemfundo. Uthishanhloko u-Oble uthe unamalungu amane othisha angososayensi abasebenza emikhakheni ehlukene futhi abafuna ukuthola uxhaso lwemisebenzi yabo. Idatha yesikhathi sangempela abayithola eziteshini zesimo sezulu kanye nedatha abayiqoqayo kuzosiza ucwaningo lwabo.
UMqondisi u-Obl uchaze ukuthi ithuba lokufaka lesi siteshi sezulu ekhampasi yase-University of Minnesota Crookston liyithuba elihle lokucwaninga. “Isiteshi sezulu se-NDAWN sitholakala cishe ngekhilomitha enyakatho ye-Highway 75, ngemuva kwepulatifomu yethu yocwaningo. Esikhungweni, senza ucwaningo lwezitshalo, ngakho-ke kukhona amahektha angaba ngu-186 epulatifomu yocwaningo lapho, futhi umgomo wethu ukuthi) kusuka e-NWROC, ekhampasi yase-St. Paul kanye nezinye izikhungo zocwaningo nokufinyelela umphakathi nazo zisebenzisa umhlaba ukuhlola ucwaningo, kusho uMqondisi u-Aubul.
Iziteshi zesimo sezulu zingalinganisa izinga lokushisa lomoya, isiqondiso somoya kanye nesivinini, izinga lokushisa lomhlabathi ekujuleni okuhlukene, umswakama ohlobene, umfutho womoya, imisebe yelanga, imvula ephelele, njll. UMqondisi u-Oble uthe lolu lwazi lubalulekile kubalimi esifundeni kanye nomphakathi. “Ngicabanga ukuthi konke kuzoba kuhle emphakathini waseCrookston.” Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe, vakashela i-NW Online Research and Outreach Center noma iwebhusayithi ye-NDAWN.
