节目导览

本期是一集面向高三学生的英语听力训练,主题是 NASA 的 PACE 卫星如何通过「海洋颜色」观察浮游植物、气溶胶、云与气候之间的联系。
音频按三段式安排:先完整听一遍英文科普叙述;中段用中文抓主线、拆关键词和长难句;最后把同一段英文原文完整重播,方便带着理解再听一次。

本期重点

  • PACE 的全称是 Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem,任务关注海洋与大气之间的联系。
  • Phytoplankton 是海洋食物网底层的微小植物和藻类,也和氧气、碳循环有关。
  • Ocean Color Instrument 能读取更细的光谱信息,帮助科学家区分不同浮游植物群落。
  • 这些数据可用于有害藻华预报、海洋管理、渔业和空气质量研究。
