The aim of both teams is to tap into high-altitude wind, which is an energy source that is more abundant and reliable than the ground-level wind on which normal turbines depend.

两个研究小组的目的是一致的：利用更加丰富、稳定的高海拔风能发电，而普通的涡轮发电机则依赖于地表风能。

The immediate cause of the problems is the behaviour of the jet stream, a band of high-level wind that travels east around the world and influences much of the weather below it.

引起这些问题的直接原因是急流[注1]的运动方式 ----在高空、绕地球向东流动并能给下面的天气造成很大影响的一股风。

Convective cells formed at high altitude plots firstly and then spread to lower altitude area, and the speed and directions of cells 'spread depend on terrain factors and upper level wind.

对流单体主要在海拔较高的山脊处生成，并向低海拔地区移动传播，传播的速度和方向主要与地形和中高层风速风向有关。

In both instances, the Met Office failed to predict the movements of the jet stream - the high-level wind that races round the world 10km above the surface.

The height used for measuring the wind was 10m - far above street level.

At the pro level, what naturally happens is you see things whittle themselves down where you wind up with a smaller cross-section.
