蓝猫淘气大合集百度云:nasa每日地球大观：泰国洪灾

湄南河（Chao Phraya River）由泰国中部的一小河流汇聚而成，向南流入泰国湾，途经大城府（Ayutthaya）。大城府最早建于14世纪，位于泰国首都曼谷以北。今年10月以来泰国洪水肆虐，这个历史名城也不能幸免。

The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite acquired these natural-color images of Ayutthaya on October 23, 2011 (top), and July 11, 2011 (bottom). In both images, the Chao Phraya River curves through the southwestern part of the city (image lower left). In October, however, the river has overflowed onto nearby floodplains, especially southwest of the river and west of Route 356. Fields, roads, and buildings have all been submerged by sediment-clogged flood water.

这两幅自然色照片是由NASA对地观测卫星（EO-1）上搭载的高级陆地成像仪在2010-10-23（上图）和2011-7-11（下图）拍摄的。从两幅照片上都可以看到，湄南河蜿蜒地流经大城府的西南（照片左下）。可是，在今年10月份，这条河开始泛滥到附近的泛洪平原，特别河的西南部和356公路的西部。田地，公路和建筑都淹没在被沉积物阻塞的洪水里。

Thailand’s monsoon generally lasts from mid-May to September. Because these images show the region at different times of year, some of the differences in water and vegetation could result from normal seasonal variations. However, the large expanse of flood water in October 2011 is unusual even in a monsoon season.

泰国的雨季通常是5月中到9月。由于这两幅照片是在不同时间拍摄的，上面的河水和植被可能会因季节变动而有些不同，但10月里如此铺天盖地的洪水，即使对雨季来说也是不寻常的。

Flooding forced the closure of manufacturing plants in Ayutthaya, according to news reports. The city is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site. On October 12, UNESCO Bangkok announced a planned assessment of flood damage to Ayutthaya, requested by the government of Thailand.

据新闻报道，洪水已迫使大城府的制造工厂关闭。另外，这个城市是联合国教科文组织评定的世界遗产。根据泰国政府请求，教科文组织已在10月12日公布了洪水对大城府破坏的评诂报告。
