Wind turbines (涡轮) and slar panels that generate electricity are examples f “green” technlgy.A new study finds that such renewable energy might be green in anther sense.Large cllectins f thse turbines r slar panels appear capable f bringing rains t the desert and wuld allw mre plants t grw.
Building large wind r slar farms just t study their questin was nt an ptin.It wuld be t cstly.S experts Kalnay and Safa develped a mdel f Nrth Africa's Sahara Desert t find ut hw wind turbines and slar farms might alter the desert's climate.
The team ran its mdel several times.In ne run, it assumed that peple wuld set up wind farms nly.Anther run assumed peple wuld install just slar farms.A third assumed peple wuld build bth.They wuld affect the desert's weather with temperature and average daily rain increased — but differently.Installing a mix f slar farms and wind turbines brught abut a bigger change — nt in temperature but in rainfall.In the Sahara, having bth wind and slar farms mre than dubled the amunt f rain that fell, up t 215.4 millimeters per day.
The mdels predicted that the average rainfall wuld increase ver time, as mre plants grew.Plants mve water frm the grund t the air.Warmer air can carry mre water.S as this air rises, it can ferry mre water up t becme cluds.Thse cluds can release rain, relieving the thirst f plants belw.Over time, this prcess repeats itself ver and ver.This psitive feedback can greatly bst rains.
Such rainfall changes culd lead t better agriculture, says Safa.“Mre rain als wuld help wild plants grw.We believe that the cuntries in the Sahara shuld seriusly cnsider investing in wind and slar pwer,” he added.
