IZiko loPhando noLwandiso laseNorthwestern lifake isikhululo semozulu

ISebe lezoLimo laseMinnesota kunye nabasebenzi be-NDAWN bafake isikhululo semozulu sase-MAWN/NDAWN nge-23-24 kaJulayi kwiYunivesithi yaseMinnesota eCrookston North Farm emantla eHighway 75. I-MAWN yiMinnesota Agricultural Weather Network kwaye i-NDAWN yiNorth Dakota Agricultural Weather Network.
UMaureen Obul, umlawuli wemisebenzi kwiNorthwest Research and Outreach Centre, uchaza indlela ezifakwa ngayo izitishi ze-NDAWN eMinnesota. “I-ROC System, Research and Information Center, sinabantu abali-10 eMinnesota, kwaye njenge-ROC System besizama ukufumana isikhululo semozulu esiza kusebenza kuthi sonke, kwaye senze izinto ezimbalwa ezingakhange zisebenze kakuhle. Irediyo ye-NDAWN ibisoloko isezingqondweni zethu, ngoko ke kwintlanganiso eSao Paulo sibe nengxoxo entle kakhulu kwaye sagqiba kwelokuba kutheni singayijongi i-NDAWN.”
Umphathi u-Obul kunye nomphathi wefama yakhe bafowunele uDaryl Ritchison we-NDSU ukuze baxoxe ngesikhululo semozulu se-NDAWN. “UDaryl uthe ngefowuni ukuba iSebe lezoLimo laseMinnesota lineprojekthi ye-$3 yezigidi kwibhajethi yokwakha izitishi ze-NDAWN eMinnesota. Ezi zitishi zibizwa ngokuba yi-MAWN, iMinnesota Agricultural Weather Network,” utshilo uMlawuli u-O'Brien.
UMlawuli u-O'Brien uthe ulwazi oluqokelelwe kwisikhululo semozulu saseMAWN luyafumaneka kuluntu. “Ewe, sonwabile kakhulu ngale nto. ICrookston ibisoloko iyindawo entle yesikhululo seNDAWN kwaye sonwabile kakhulu kukuba wonke umntu uya kukwazi ukungena kwisikhululo seNDAWN okanye aye kwiwebhusayithi yethu aze acofe ikhonkco apho aze afumane oko akufunayo. Lonke ulwazi malunga nendawo.”
Isikhululo semozulu siza kuba yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yeziko lesayensi nelemfundo. Inqununu u-Oble uthe unamalungu amane e-faculty angoososayensi abasebenza kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo kwaye bafuna ukufumana inkxaso-mali kwiiprojekthi zabo. Idatha abayifumanayo ngexesha langempela kwizikhululo zemozulu kunye nedatha abayiqokelelayo iya kunceda uphando lwabo.
UMlawuli u-Obl ucacisile ukuba ithuba lokufaka esi sikhululo semozulu kwikhampasi yaseYunivesithi yaseMinnesota eCrookston lithuba elihle lophando. “Isikhululo semozulu se-NDAWN sikumgama omalunga nemayile emantla eHighway 75, ngasemva kweqonga lethu lophando. Kwiziko, senza uphando lwezityalo, ngoko ke kukho malunga neehektare ezili-186 zeqonga lophando apho, kwaye injongo yethu kukuba) ukusuka eNWROC, kwikhampasi yaseSt. Paul kunye namanye amaziko ophando nokufikelela nawo asebenzisa umhlaba ukuvavanya uphando, wongeze watsho uMlawuli u-Aubul.
Izitishi zemozulu zinokulinganisa ubushushu bomoya, indlela umoya ohamba ngayo kunye nesantya, ubushushu bomhlaba kubunzulu obahlukeneyo, ukufuma okuthelekisekayo, uxinzelelo lomoya, imitha yelanga, imvula iyonke, njl. UMlawuli u-Oble uthe olu lwazi lubalulekile kubalimi kulo mmandla nakuluntu. “Ndicinga ukuba ngokubanzi kuya kuba luncedo kuluntu lwaseCrookston.” Ukuze ufumane ulwazi oluthe kratya, ndwendwela iZiko loPhando noPhuhliso lwe-NW Online okanye iwebhusayithi ye-NDAWN.
