Uthungelwano lwesikhululo semozulu lunwenwela eWisconsin, lunceda amafama kunye nabanye

Ndiyabulela kwimigudu yeYunivesithi yaseWisconsin-Madison, ixesha elitsha leenkcukacha zemozulu liqala ukusa eWisconsin.
Ukusukela ngeminyaka yee-1950s, imozulu yaseWisconsin iye yanda ngokungalindelekanga kwaye igqithise, idala iingxaki kumafama, abaphandi kunye noluntu. Kodwa ngothungelwano lwezikhululo zemozulu kwilizwe ngokubanzi ezaziwa njenge-mesonet, urhulumente uya kukwazi ukumelana nokuphazamiseka kwexesha elizayo okubangelwa kukutshintsha kwemozulu.
"Ii-Maisonettes inokukhokela izigqibo zemihla ngemihla ezikhusela izityalo, ipropati kunye nobomi babantu, kunye nokuxhasa uphando, ulwandiso kunye nemfundo," kusho ilungu le-faculty uChris Kucharik, uprofesa kunye nosihlalo weSebe leNzululwazi yezoLimo e-UW-Madison ngokubambisana noNelson. Iziko lezendalo. UKucharik ukhokela iprojekthi enkulu yokwandisa inethiwekhi ye-mesonet yeWisconsin, encediswa nguMike Peters, umlawuli weSikhululo soPhando lwezoLimo sase-UW-Madison.
Ngokungafaniyo namanye amazwe amaninzi ezolimo, inethiwekhi yangoku yeWisconsin yezikhululo zokujonga indalo incinci. Phantse isiqingatha se-14 imozulu kunye nezikhululo zokubeka iliso zomhlaba zifumaneka kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin Research Station, kunye nabanye bagxininise kwiigadi zangasese eKewaunee kunye neDoor counties. Idatha yezi zikhululo okwangoku igcinwe eMesonet kwiYunivesithi yaseMichigan State.
Ukuqhubela phambili, ezi zikhululo zokubeka iliso ziya kufuduselwa kwi-mesonet ezinikeleyo ebekwe eWisconsin eyaziwa ngokuba yiWisconet, inyusa inani lilonke lezikhululo zokubeka esweni ukuya kuma-90 ukubeka esweni ngcono zonke iindawo zikarhulumente. Lo msebenzi wawuxhaswa yi-2.3 yezigidi zenkxaso-mali evela kwi-Wisconsin Rural Partnership, i-USDA-inkxaso-mali ye-Washington State University initiative, kunye ne-1 yezigidi zenkxaso evela kwi-Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. Ukwandisa inethiwekhi kubonwa njengenyathelo elibalulekileyo ekuboneleleni ngeyona datha iphezulu kunye nolwazi kwabo bayidingayo.
Isikhululo ngasinye sinezixhobo zokulinganisa ubume be-atmosfera nomhlaba. Izixhobo ezisekelwe emhlabeni zilinganisa isantya somoya nendlela, ukufuma, ubushushu bomoya, imitha yelanga kunye nemvula. Linganisa ubushushu bomhlaba nokufuma kubunzulu obuthile ngaphantsi komhlaba.
"Abavelisi bethu baxhomekeke kwidatha yemozulu yonke imihla ukwenza izigqibo ezibalulekileyo kwiifama zabo. Oku kuchaphazela ukutyala, ukunkcenkceshela kunye nokuvuna, "kusho uTamas Houlihan, umlawuli olawulayo weWisconsin Potato kunye neVegetable Growers Association (WPVGA). "Ngoko ke sivuya kakhulu malunga nokusebenzisa inkqubo yesikhululo semozulu kungekudala."
NgoFebruwari, uKucharik ubonise isicwangciso se-mesonet kwiNkomfa yeMfundo yoMfama yeWPVGA. UAndy Dirks, umlimi waseWisconsin nokwahlala esebenzisana neKholeji yezoLimo kunye neNzululwazi yoBomi yase-UW-Madison, wayekubaphulaphuli kwaye wakuthanda oko wakuvayo.
"Uninzi lwezigqibo zethu zezolimo zisekwe kwimozulu yangoku okanye into esiyilindeleyo kwiiyure okanye iintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo," utshilo uDilks. "Injongo kukugcina amanzi, izondlo kunye nemveliso yokukhusela izityalo apho zingasetyenziswa zizityalo, kodwa asikwazi ukuphumelela ngaphandle kokuba siqonde ngokupheleleyo umoya wangoku kunye neemeko zomhlaba kunye noko kuya kwenzeka kwixesha elizayo elingekude.", Wathi imvula enkulu engalindelekanga yahlamba izichumisi ezisanda kusetyenziswa.
Iingenelo eziza kuziswa ngabalamli bemekobume kumafama zicacile, kodwa nabanye abaninzi baya kungenelwa.
"INkonzo yeMozulu yeSizwe ibona ezi zinto zixabisekileyo ngenxa yokukwazi ukuvavanya kunye negalelo ekuqondeni ngcono iziganeko ezigqithiseleyo," kusho uKucharik, owafumana isidanga sakhe sobugqirha kwisayensi ye-atmospheric kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin.
Idatha yeMeteorological inokunceda abaphandi, abaphathi bezothutho, abaphathi bendalo, abaphathi bezokwakha kunye nabani na umsebenzi wabo ochaphazelekayo yimozulu kunye neemeko zomhlaba. Ezi zikhululo zokubeka iliso zide zibe namandla okunceda ukuxhasa imfundo ye-K-12, njengoko amabala esikolo anokuba ziziza ezinokubakho kwizikhululo zokubeka iliso kokusingqongileyo.
“Le yenye indlela yokubonisa abafundi abaninzi kwizinto ezichaphazela ubomi babo bemihla ngemihla,” utshilo uKucharik. "Unganxulumanisa le sayensi kwezinye iindawo ezahlukeneyo kwezolimo, amahlathi kunye nendalo yasendle."

Ukufakelwa kwezikhululo zemaisonette ezitsha eWisconsin kucwangciselwe ukuqala kweli hlobo kwaye kugqitywe ekwindla lika-2026.
