Passage One
The growing importance of airpower in World War II, combined with its nsitivity to weather, led to an ever greater military reliance on accurate forecasts. Knowing the weather was of vital concern to combat commanders of that war.
As much an art as it is science, predicting the weather is dependent on the accurate tracking of weather phenomena, particularly storm fronts, from the areas where they originate. Though meteorologists(气象学家) of the 1940s had none of the weather tracking satellites which make that job so much simpler today, they were still able to generate usably accurate forecasts as much as 72 hours in advance-as long as they could get the data they needed.
The need for that data gave birth to one of the most interesting and unique campaigns of the Second World War, the so-called “Weather War.” Although it was not a war of major commands and of troops, ships, or aircraft, it had an important impact on the fighting in the Atlantic and European Theatres. It was the weather data cured by this campaign which e
nabled the planning and execution of such critical operations as the Allied landings at Normandy and the entire strategic bombing campaign against Hitler’s empire.
The Weather War began with the German invasion of Denmark and Norway in April 1940. prior to that, tho nations allowed their arctic weather stations to report the weather in the clear so all countries could u the information. Germany’s occupation of much of Scandinavia gave Berlin a monopoly(煮饭要多久垄断) over arctic weather data-a development the Allies could not allow.
眼角下垂面相The British, in fact, began planning to ize the weather stations even as the campaign for Norway progresd. Of cour, the Germans had plans for tho same stations too, but Allied dominance over the a, coupled with the unexpectedly high German naval loss in the Norwegian invasion, allowed Britain to score the first success. But the weather itlf proved the most rious obstacle to the start of the Weather War’s operations, delaying the first moves until August. In fact, throughout the Weather War, both sides found the elements a more formidable(可怕的交换美娇娘春节慰问) foe than the enemy.
日益增长的重要性空军在二战期间,结合其灵敏度,天气,导致一个更大的军事依赖准确的预测。知道天气很重要作战指挥官的战争。
更像是一门艺术,因为它是科学,预测天气是依赖于准确的跟踪天气现象,尤其是风暴方面,从它产生的地区。尽管气象学家(气象学家)的1940年代,没有天气跟踪卫星,让那份工作所以更简单的今天,他们仍然能够产生有效地准确预测高达72小时只要他们能提前为他们需要获取数据。
需要这些数据生下了一个最有趣的和独特的运动的第二次世界大战中,所谓的“天气战。“虽然这不是一个战争的主要命令和军队、船舶或飞机,它有重要影响战斗在大西洋和欧洲剧院。这是天气数据获得的这个活动,使计划和实施等关键操作作为盟军在诺曼底和整个战略轰炸希特勒的帝国。
战争开始的天气与德国入侵丹麦和挪威在1940年4月。在此之前,这些国家允许其北极气象站报道天气晴朗的所以所有国家可以利用这些信息。德国的占领大部分斯堪的纳维亚给柏林垄断(垄断)在北极的天气数据——通常发展盟军无法允许。
英国,事实上,开始计划抓住气象站即使竞选挪威进步。当然,德国人曾计划对这些站太,但盟军统治大海,再加上德国海军损失意外的高在挪威入侵,允许英国分数第一的成功。但天气本身证明了最严重的障碍开始天气战争的操作,延迟到8月第一步。事实上,在整个天气战争,双方找到了一个更强大的元素(可怕的)敌人比敌人。
