The USA has put into space the world's most advanced and powerful weather satellite. Scientists say it will revolutionize how we predict the weather and how we look at weather events. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said its $1 billion Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) will take weather photographs five times faster than other satellites, and with four times higher image quality. The NOAA said: "Without a doubt, GOES-R will revolutionize weather forecasting as we know it." A weather forecaster said the difference in the speed and quality of the satellite's images is like the difference between old black and white TV pictures and today's HD televisions.

美国向太空发射了世界上最先进最强大的气象卫星。科学家表示，这颗卫星将为我们预测天气，查看天气事件带来革命性的变化。美国海洋暨大气总署(NOAA)表示，这颗耗资10亿美元的地球同步环境卫星(GOES-R)拍照的速度比其他卫星快五倍，图片质量高四倍。NOAA表示：“毫无疑问，GOES-R会为天气预报带来一场革命。”一名天气预报员表示，这颗卫星的拍照速度和图片质量的不同就像是黑白电视和今天的高清电视之间的差别。

The new satellite will give us powerful, real-time images and information. These will make the world a safer place. Airline pilots will receive better data to stay away from turbulence. The satellite will be able to zoom in on severe weather events to get much more detailed and accurate pictures. This will help emergency services to warn people more quickly and reduce the costs to human life and property. People will have better information about hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, volcanic ash clouds, and wildfires. A scientist at the NOAA said: "It will give the weather as it's looking now rather than the weather that happened 15 to 30 minutes ago." The NOAA said weather forecasters couldn't wait to use it.

这颗新发射的卫星将为我们提供强大实时的图片和信息，让世界变成更安全的地方。航空公司飞行员将收到更准确的数据，远离气流。卫星还能放大极端天气事件，获得更详尽更精确的图片。还可以帮助应急服务部门更快速地为人们提供预警，减少人类生命和财产损失。人们将获得关于飓风，龙卷风，洪水，火山灰云和森林大火更详细的信息。NOAA一名科学家表示：“这颗卫星提供的就是实时的天气情况，而不是15分钟甚至30分钟前的天气。”NOAA表示，天气预报员已经迫不及待地想使用这颗新的卫星。
