7. Networks of satellites already on orbit or soon to be launched are beginning to provide detailed observations of the workings of the atmosphere, ocean, and continental crust over the entire planet. These data are shared globally through an unprecedented cooperation among 58 nations called the Global Earth Observation System of Systems.
7、由已经进入轨道或是即将发射的卫星所形成的网络已开始提供有关整个地球的大气、海洋和陆壳运动情况的详细观测资料。这些数据资料通过由58个国家参与、名为全球对地观测系统的空前合作实现全球共享。
8. Orcutt noted that it will take high-volume high-speed communications to make the most of such sharing. Such a system, now under development, will shunt data a thousand times faster than current high speed broadband Internet links. Orcutt added that a strong commercial incentive exists to develop this system. It would allow movie studios, for example, to transmit a digital motion picture directly to theaters, where it could be shown in real time.
8、奥克特指出,要最大限度地利用这种共享,需要依靠大容量、高速度的通讯系统。正处于开发阶段的这一系统将会以比现在的高速宽带因特网连接快1000倍的速度传送数据。奥克特还补充说,开发这个系统存在巨大的商业动机。例如,它将使电影制片厂直接将数字电影传输到电影院并实现实时放映。
