![Page 2: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Background It is a consensus of the world in recent years
that the public has the right to know the scientific data, and at the same time many countries’ governments are doing their best to share the data with the public by various means.
![Page 3: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Problem
whether the provided scientific information and the gradually popularized science knowledge can satisfy the need of the public on scientific data.
![Page 4: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
To investigate
made a questionnaire how well people understand the weather
condition terms which they check almost every day.
![Page 5: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
designing the questionnaire choose several weather condition terms which
is frequently mentioned in newspaper, website, TV and radio
such as: ‘humidity’, ‘ultraviolet radiation’ and ‘weak cold air’
![Page 6: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
totally 60 questionnaires three groups – citizens, farmer-workers, post
graduate students, with 20 questionnaires respectively
questionnaires are filled randomly in Beijing

1 、 How many people can understand the meaning of ‘humidity’
correct wrong
![Page 8: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
70 % people can correct understand the meaning of ‘humidity’
13 % people choose the disturbing option
17 % people do not understand its meaning
![Page 9: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

The result contradicts with my original thinking, for 50 %people do not know the exact meaning of the term when the accessing.
![Page 11: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

2 、 10% or 50% humid?
![Page 12: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Thus although most people know the exact meaning of the ‘humidity’, they do not know what is the proper humidity degree for them and accordingly they can not use this frequently mentioned term properly
![Page 13: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

3、 the understanding about the ’ weak cold air’
correct wrong
![Page 14: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
only % people can understand it correctly, 77 % people do not know clearly about it, 13 % people do not know it at all.
![Page 15: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3 、 When I list several terms that are frequently used in the weather forecast
such as: weather condition\air temperature\wind direction\
wind power\UV\air quality\humidity\precipitation frequence\weak cold air
![Page 16: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
only 13 % people chose ‘humidity as their most careful weather term, lower than the number of 33 % choosing ‘precipitation frequency’ and ‘air quality’.
The most unpopular term is the ‘wind
direction’, about which only 10 % people cared
![Page 17: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

the most popular weather terms are considered to be ‘weather condition’, ‘temperature’, ‘wind power’and ‘ultraviolet radiation’
However, the unpopular terms ‘humidity’ and ‘wind direction’ are mentioned frequently in the weather forecast of various newspapers, TVs, radios and websites, which most people care nothing about and are not capable of using them.

4 、 It is worth mentioning that only 17% people knew all of these eight indexes, and 45% people knew the exact meaning of 4-6 of them, and 38% knew less than 3 kinds of indexes
![Page 20: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
5 、 It is very interesting that the female’s correct rate is far higher than the male’s, especially in the graduate group.
One of the possible reasons is that ladies who are instinct for loving beauty pay more attention on the weather.

6 、 According to the result, the group of post graduate students obtains the highest accuracy rate.
However, the accuracy rate of farmer-workers is higher than that of Beijing citizens, which is different with my original thinking, and many people are surprised by the result too.
![Page 23: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
7 、 While, according to citizens’ and farmer-workers’ answers, the correct rate does not have a significant relation with the educational level.
One person with bachelor degree had an error rate up to 40%, while a junior answered all questions accurately.
![Page 24: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The error rate is about 50% to the old whose age is above 50,
The error rate 30% to the young people whose age is between 18-30,
The error rate 27% to people whose age is between 30-50.
![Page 26: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
8 、 conclusion
the public’s demand and understanding to scientific data in weather forecast is not consistent with the degree of popularization of scientific data, even sometimes those data is
not what the public want.
![Page 27: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
And this phenomenon does not only lie in weather forecast. For example, those professional terms such as GDP, GNP may not be understood by the public exactly
Although it is a normal phase in the process of popularizing scientific data
![Page 28: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
we have to pay special attention on some problems, such as the approach and methods of popularization, which means that whether the public can understand and apply these data exactly.
Of course, now I just provide this question, and more research should be made to get a powerful conclusion.
![Page 29: The public sharing and understanding of scientific data —— with the illustrations of weather terms Shen Danna.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ea95503460f94bacb6a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
That is all of my report. Thank you for your attention!
