Now satellites are helping to
forecast
（预报）
the weather.
They are in space, and they can reach any
part
of
the
world.
The
satellites
take
pictures
of
the
atmosphere
（大气）
,
because
this
is
where
the
weather
forms
（形成）
. They send these
pictures to the weather stations. So
meteorologists
（气象学家）
can
see
the
weather
of
any
part
of
the
world.
From
the
pictures,
the
scientists
can
often
say
how
the
weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather
stations in sixty countries receive satellite
pictures. When they receive
new
pictures, the meteorologists
compare
（比较）
them with earlier
ones. Perhaps they may find that the
clouds have changed during the last few
hours. This may mean that the weather on the
ground may soon
change, too. In their
next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say
this.
So
the
weather
satellites
are
a
great
help
to
the
meteorologists.
Before
satellites
were
invented,
the
scientists
could
forecast
the
weather
for
about
24
or
48
hours.
Now
they
can
make
good
forecasts
for
three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they
may be able to forecast the weather for a week or
