Scientists from the California Institute, Irvine suggested the use of data shocks gravitational field of the Earth for predicting the probable flood. The results of the study authors published in an article in the journal Nature Geoscience. The experts used data from the satellites GRACE, who hath measured the slight changes in the gravitational field of the Earth in the river basin district Missouri in 2011, 5 months before the incident floods. The basis of the vacillations of the gravitational field has been the increase in the value of underground waters, which recorded the satellites of NASA. At the same time, scientists report that the proposed method is still in the experimental stage and has a number of flaws. First, while it is suitable only for predicting floods in large pools, from 200 thousand square kilometers. In-2, it has Hilo predictive power in the regions, where the main precondition floods are considered monsoon phenomena. These lands include, for example, India and Pakistan. In-3, the analysis of gravitational instability still takes a long time (about 3 months), which does not allow in time to take appropriate measures to reduce the negative impacts of floods. Scientists suggest to reduce the time for processing data from the satellites to 2 weeks early as 2017. GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) - the combined expertise of NASA and the German center for aviation and space for research of the Earth's gravitational field and its configurations over time. The experience will take part 2 satellites surrounding the polar orbit at an altitude of 500 km Meteorologists believe that tested their method of prediction of the origin of the flood, tested in 2011, can be extended to other regions of the planet. With this purpose the researchers hope to automate the analysis of data from satellites, which will allow to considerably reduce the time for processing.
