Chapter 814 We really need your help!
Professor David Goldberg, the chief scientist of the European Meteorological Center, put down the information in his hand, looked around at everyone, and said: "The situation is serious now, and time is very urgent. Everyone takes turns to talk about the recent research results. Huo
Professor Rand, starting with you, speaking clockwise by seat."
Professor Holland said with an embarrassed face: "Last month, I invited the team of Professor Linus Riddell, the most famous professor in functional analysis, probability statistics, and mathematical modeling at Oxford University, to assist in the current weather forecast.
However, Professor Riddell said two weeks after participating that the data was too large and complex. In the past month, he had only completed a preliminary sorting and very basic analysis of the data, and had not yet had time to conduct data modeling. And he also admitted frankly that he did not
If you are good at meteorological modeling, it will take about a year at the fastest to achieve obvious results."
About a year? Or the fastest? The daylilies will be cold by then!
Professor David Goldberg nodded disappointedly and looked at the next professor.
The professor also shrugged helplessly: "Professor Tolvi Salgado of the Ecole Normale Supérieure has been a member of the 'TYA extreme high-altitude weather prediction model' team for three months and is still sorting out the data structure of the current model.
Among them, I asked him yesterday when big progress would be made, and he also said that he could not give a clear time point."
Professor David Goldberg cast his hopeful gaze on the third professor: "Professor White, you and Professor Hal jointly optimized and modified the currently widely used 'Torsen Atmospheric Turbulence Simulation System'. Last time
It is said that there is a 37% probability of successful prediction. Has the accuracy rate been increased to more than 50% now?"
Professor White said with regret: "I'm sorry, the last result has great uncertainty, because there are too many factors that affect extreme airflow, and the factor weights are changing every time. Our recent prediction accuracy has been at 10
Fluctuating between % and 29%, that time 37% was the result of luck..."
"The progress on our side is also not optimistic. The upgrade of flight navigation is faced with the limitations of hardware sensors and chip performance, and it is impossible to fully apply the general solution results of the N-S equation to achieve better automatic flight avoidance operations."
"Recently, there are many unpredictable factors in these extreme high-altitude air flows. In particular, the sustained high temperature this summer has intensified the temperature gradient of the atmospheric circulation. The horizontal distribution of air pressure, under the action of thermal and dynamic factors, has had an unprecedented impact on the stability of the air flow in the stratosphere.
To some extent, there is a gap with our theoretical understanding. Before we optimize and improve the basic theory, it will be difficult to draw effective conclusions..."
"It's difficult. Our team has lost confidence. Time is really tight. If we are given about half a year, we should be able to achieve certain results."
"..."
After listening to everyone's replies, Professor David Goldberg's frowned brows became even more twisted.
The situation is more serious than imagined. Because time is running out, he has divided the dozens of meteorological experts into different groups, each responsible for researching different feasible directions, and personally led the team to carry out one of the "high-altitude weather detection technology improvements"
” topic.
But now according to the situation of the meeting, except for his research group, which has achieved great results in overcoming the complex external environment and ensuring the accuracy of monitoring data, the progress reported back by the other expert groups is not optimistic.
The period has passed, and not only has no considerable progress been made, many groups have even fallen into a period of chaos and regression.
Seeing that there are only about twenty days left until the peak flight season at the beginning of next year, the probability of extremely unstable airflow phenomena at high altitudes has shown an abnormally rising trend as the temperature drops. If this continues, David Goode
Professor Berg can almost foresee the occurrence of large-scale air crash tragedies, and it will never be just one or two!
Even if there are only four or five accidents, it will involve more than a thousand lives!
Moreover, the successive air crashes will definitely cause an almost devastating blow to the European aviation industry. Exchanges between countries will have to rely heavily on ground transportation, which will greatly reduce efficiency. The economy that has been stagnant will also enter the Great Recession.
depression……
Thinking of the possible chain reactions, everyone present felt helpless and frustrated.
Professor David Goldberg took a deep breath to free himself from the responsible emotions. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you have any suggestions for changing the phenomenon? Let's talk about it, whether it is possible or not."
It’s feasible, but you have to do a brainstorming first.”
Everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to put forward some suggestions that even they themselves felt were unreliable. In the end, the most reliable and troublesome suggestion of all was to ask for foreign aid again.
Recruiting foreign aid is not an easy task in itself. Almost all the most prestigious researchers and scholars related to meteorology from universities and research institutes in Europe have gathered here, and they have also invited guests including the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris.
After waiting for the strongest team of professors in mathematics and computer science from prestigious schools to join, they still failed to achieve the expected results.
Then we can only set our sights on top universities in countries around the world, such as the United States and Japan.
But even if we look around the world, it is extremely difficult to find mathematicians and physicists who are familiar with meteorological analysis and mathematical modeling. After all, all of you here are considered experts in the world, and you can beat them.
Not much really.
Moreover, capable scientific research experts are busy themselves, so it would be equally difficult for them to agree to travel thousands of miles to help.
What's more, even if they can come, it is still unknown how big a role they can play and whether they can turn the tide...
Professor David Goldberg said helplessly: "Let's list the specific candidates first, and I will personally implement the ideological mobilization of these candidates."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Soon several names were reported, including academician Mitch Bilal, a meteorology master from MIT, and Gilmer, a master of upper-air flow from Harvard University.
Academician Tuke and Japanese fluid mechanics master Professor Shusuke Ryoki are all well-known in the industry.
Among them, the candidate proposed by Professor Holland has attracted most people's attention: "I suggest that we invite Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun from Xia State. They were in "Nature Physics" in the middle of last year.
"Published a paper titled "Research on Extreme Meteorological Disasters in Deserts Using Mathematical Models with the N-S Equation as the Core", demonstrating their superb level of predicting extreme weather conditions in desert environments, such as sandstorms, dry rain, fire rain, etc.
, at least I was amazed by that paper and felt ashamed."
Immediately, a professor shook his head and said: "Their level is indeed very high, but it is too difficult to recruit them. They once said that they would not leave Xia Kingdom easily to participate in scientific research work in other countries. Cambridge University and Oxford University have long since sent them
I received an invitation to teach, and the conditions were so generous that even though they were among the best in Europe, they still declined."
Professor Holland argued: "Now that we are in the information age, they do not have to come to the Eagle Country headquarters to work. They can cooperate through video conferencing, email exchanges, etc. I think that when it comes to mathematics level, as well as the
In the research on extreme and abnormal weather disasters, they can definitely be ranked at the forefront of the world..."
Another professor shook his head and interrupted: "Let's not talk about whether this remote cooperation method is feasible. Even if it is feasible, they must agree. They seem to be attending the Nobel Prize award ceremony recently? In such a glorious moment, how can they cope with it?
There is no time for media interviews, so how can they rashly participate in a scientific research cooperation project like ours? With their current status, even if our chief scientist Professor Goldberg personally invites us, they may not buy it."
Everyone thought it was very difficult, even Professor Holland remained silent.
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are no longer ordinary Xia University professors. Now they hold two Nobel Prizes and a Philippine Prize. They are already the world's top scientists. Although Professor David Goldberg is famous all over the world,
, but based on his face, he may not be able to invite these two great gods.
Professor Holland said weakly: "If it really doesn't work, we can only contact the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and ask them to come forward to coordinate..."
Suddenly a professor suddenly said: "No, I think the probability of success in inviting them is still very high."
Everyone looked around in surprise and saw Professor Blois, who had never spoken much.
Professor Blois raised his mobile phone with an excited look on his face: "I just saw a piece of news. Not long ago, at the press conference after the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, Academician Qin Ke said that he was studying extreme and abnormal weather.
Phenomenon, and I am happy to cooperate and exchange with scholars from all over the world on this scientific research direction.”
Everyone was startled, and then they took out their mobile phones to check.
Sure enough, I saw that various news websites were full of news about Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, and the latest news among them was - "Academician Qin Ke of Xia State Answers Questions from Reporters".
After watching the news, Professor David Goldberg was refreshed and confident, and said to everyone: "I propose that the cooperation invitations from Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun be treated as the highest priority at present, as long as they agree
Cooperation, cooperation methods, and remuneration can all be based on their requirements. How about a second consultation? Let’s vote now, raise your hands if you agree!”
All hands were raised.
Professor David Goldberg turned to his secretary and said: "Immediately make arrangements to contact Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun from Xia State, and then arrange the fastest air ticket. I want to fly to Sweden and invite you personally.
them!"
…
Faced with the contact from the European Meteorological Center and the personal invitation from Chief Scientist Professor David Goldberg, Qin Ke was a little surprised, but he readily agreed. He didn't even ask for any material reward, but just expressed the hope that
We have reached a strategic partnership with the European Meteorological Center to conduct information exchange and data sharing on scientific research work to jointly respond to global climate changes.
After Professor David Goldberg spent two days negotiating with various member states, he finally agreed to all Qin Ke's requests.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun will be awarded the position of special technical general consultant of the European Meteorological Center. The cooperation method is remote cooperation. Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun do not need to report to the Eagle Country headquarters of the European Meteorological Center. Both parties
Communication will only be carried out through regular emails and video conferences. All data related to extreme and abnormal weather from the European Meteorological Center will be open to Qin and Ke, and they will be allowed to use it for non-commercial scientific research.
——The latter agreement is a priceless treasure. The European Meteorological Center has been established for more than fifty years, and the huge amount of data itself is a huge treasure. Even if it is only open to two people with data permissions related to extreme and abnormal weather, it is extremely rare.
If we hadn't encountered such a big difficulty and needed to ask Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun for help, it would have been impossible for the European member states to authorize the European Meteorological Center to agree to such conditions.
When leaving, Professor David Goldberg shook hands with Qin Ke vigorously and said solemnly: "Academician Qin, we welcome the Xian couple to join our European Meteorological Center! You should not be like this after traveling long distances and working hard, and you have just received the
I'm bothering you at the important moment of the Nobel Prize, but we really need your help. The situation we are currently facing is very bad, and the time left for us is very short, less than twenty days, if we include subsequent program updates.
Development time, whether it is secondary optimization based on the current weather forecast model or re-development of a new weather forecast model, we hope to complete it before the 25th of this month. During this period, including myself, all the human resources of the European Meteorological Center
All material and resources are at your disposal!"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Professor Goldberg would give up such great power. On the one hand, it was because he was helpless and was forced into a desperate situation. No matter what Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun could do,
If he can't really solve this problem, he can only treat it like a dead horse.
After all, looking around the world, there is no physicist who is more proficient in fluid mechanics and mathematics than Qin Kening, Qingyun. Instead of wasting time trying to find ways to invite top scholars from the United States or Japan, it is better to put all the treasures on Qin Ke
and Ning Qingyun, two Nobel Prize winners who readily agreed to the invitation.
If it really can't be solved by then, he can give an explanation to the European people - look, this is a problem that even the two top Nobel Prize winners cannot solve, and we are really powerless.
On the other hand, it was also because of Ning Qingyun’s report on extreme meteorological disasters that Professor Goldberg saw “hope.”
The day after the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, there will be a free lecture by the Nobel Prize winners. Each Nobel Prize winner will spend an hour introducing their recent work priorities and future plans to further enhance their academic influence.
force.
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun naturally also came to the stage to give reports.
The contents of the two reports are relatively similar, but the focus is different.
Ning Qingyun mainly talked about the subject content and current preliminary results of extreme weather research, while Qin Ke focused on the subject content of water resources desalination and purification.
Both of these are projects for which the two of them are jointly initiators and responsible persons. Since they have been disclosed at the press conference in advance, the contents of this report did not cause much sensation. Most people just thought that the two top
It's a bit strange for scientists to turn to such a "down-to-earth" direction.
It was Professor Goldberg and experts from the European Meteorological Center who really paid attention to the report of the two men.
It was Ning Qingyun’s familiarity with meteorology, his ability to use fluid mechanics, and his rich research experience in extreme weather that he showed in this report, which convinced a group of experts from the European Meteorological Center headed by Professor Goldberg.
