Caught a news blurb the other day about a weather related development in China, which seems to be somewhat of a hot topic these days.
On monday China launched it's third environmental satelite. They hope to use this sattelite and the other two to develop it's abilitys for monitoring their environemtn, and forecasing future disasters.
This is an important development for a country that is developing and expaning so fast, especially being one of the top most populous countries in the world. China has a lot of land to cover, and as we here in the U.S. know, that means a lot of different environmental factors happening is many places at once.
China says that the sattelite will be used specifically for disaster planning, air distribution and reconstruction if necessary. It's hard enough to predict disasters before they happen but having another eye in the sky definitely helps them out.
