On the fifth highest floor, to fulfill our starting conditions, we'd need four rooms with three neighbors each, plus the control panel room with one neighbor, which makes 13 total neighbors.

在最高的第五层， 为了满足我们的起始条件，我们需要四个房间， 每个房间有三个邻居，加上控制面板室有一个邻居，总共有 13 个邻居。

The centre was a pioneer in using satellites to fill gaps in the data over the oceans, and in developing ensemble forecasts that generate a range of outcomes by employing slightly different starting conditions to produce multiple predictions.

该中心在运用卫星进行气象观测，弥补海洋气象数据不足方面处于领先地位；此外，它还开发出一套名为“系集预报”的模型，即通过利用气象起始状况的细微不同来得出多项预测从而得到多个预报结果。
