The problem is that scientists are just beginning to understand what will happen to climate at scales smaller than entire continents or ocean basins.

问题在于科学家才刚开始了解次洲或者次洋级的气候变化。

At its finest scale, we should be able to probe down the "Planck length" which measures 10-35 meters. But the GEO600 experiment detected noise at scales of less than 10-15 meters.

要验证这一点，我们需要深入到普朗克尺度(10 - 35米)进行探测，而GEO600实验中探测到的噪音尺度为不到10 - 15米。

The size of the cells stops them from explicitly capturing processes that take place at scales smaller than a hundred kilometres or so, which includes the processes that create clouds.

任何在小于方圆百公里范围内发生的气象过程，包括云的产生，是不能用该模式来直接仿真的。

"We need an army of people who are equipped to know how to work at all levels and all scales, from protecting animals in the wild to providing shelter to them in zoological parks if necessary."

That model is the best explanation out there for what happens at scales smaller than the atom, but still has a lot of holes in it, and there are other theories out there that go beyond that model.

It is not the first time science has aimed to replicate the feat - albeit at smaller scales.

Need to continue to inventory the diversity of institutional arrangements in mountain regions at different scales, regional to local.
