| emission forecast The final step in a clean air plan is to predict future air quality to demonstrate that we can (if we can) meet the health standards by implementing the measures proposed in the plan. This is done by first projecting the emission inventory into the future, taking into account changes in population, housing, employment in specific business sectors, and vehicle miles traveled. These data are obtained from various sources and the resulting emissions are adjusted to account for regulations and control measures scheduled for implementation during the same time period. Additional adjustments are made to reflect large facilities that are expected to start up, modify, or shut down. The resulting inventory is an emission forecast, and is usually expressed in tons per day of particular pollutants for a given year. Additional steps may be required to determine how the forecasted quantities of air pollution will affect the overall air quality. One way to accomplish this is through computermodeling. A computer model simulates how pollutants disperse, react, and move in the air. The inputs to such a computer model are complex. They include weather patterns, terrain, and the chemical nature of air pollutants | 排放预测 (空气清洁计划的最后一个步骤是去预测未来空气质量以证明通过执行计划中提出的检测措施，我们可以符合健康的标准。首先从预测未来的排放清单开始，考虑人口、居住、每一商业部门的工作雇用情形以及车行里程的变化。这些资料是由不同的渠道获得，最终的排放量计算必须根据法令和相同时段中控制方法的执行情况做调整。大型工厂的增设、变更或关闭必须进行额外调整。最终的排放清单是一个排放量的预测结果，通常以一年中每天排放若干吨来表示。另外，必须确定空气污染的预测量对于整体空气质量的影响，可利用计算机模型达成这一目标。计算机模型可模拟污染物如何在空气中扩散、反应及运动，但所需输入的资料相当复杂，包含气候型态、地形、和空气污染物的化学性质。) |

| fire behaviour forecast | 火灾习性预报 |
| flood forecast The hydrological processes generating river floods have been studied extensively and several modelling concepts have been proposed. The standard procedure for flood forecasting consists of calibrating the parameters of the model of a particular river basin on a representative set of historical hydrometric data and subsequently applying this calibrated model in a real-time environment | 洪水预报 (洪水发生的水文过程已被广泛研究，许多建模理论被提出。对洪水预报的标准程序包括基于历史水文数据，校准有代表性的某一流域模型的参数，以及随后在实时环境中使用此校正模型。) |
