WASHINGTON Nick Chubb Browns Jersey , Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- China will freely share datafrom its new-generation weather satellite Fengyun-4 as well as itsfirst carbon monitoring satellite TanSat with international users,a Chinese official said here Tuesday.
Yang Jun, director general of the National SatelliteMeteorological Center, part of the China MeteorologicalAdministration, made the remarks at the China Day event during theGroup on Earth Observations (GEO) week 2017 in Washington, D.C.
"These two satellites represent the latest outcomes ofscientific and technological innovation in China, and also thecontribution made by China to global meteorological disasterprevention and mitigation Denzel Ward Browns Jersey , climate change response andeconomic-social development," Yang said.
"In the future, we will continue to provide more and bettersatellite observational products for users worldwide," he said.
FengYun-4, launched last December, was the first of China'ssecond-generation weather satellites in geostationary orbit andalso the country's first quantitative remote-sensing satellite inhigh orbit.
Yang said the testing of FengYun-4 platform and payloads hasbeen completed recently, showing that the satellite is stable inoperation with good performance.
"The China Meteorological Administration is in the process oftesting FengYun-4's various products including cloud Joe Thomas Youth Jersey , atmosphereand surface conditions," he continued.
"FengYun-4 is scheduled to be put into use in early 2018, withits data and products being freely available to internationalusers," he said.
TanSat, also launched last December, was China's first satelliteto monitor greenhouse gas emissions, which Yang said was "of greatimportance to a full understanding of the global carbon cycleprocess and its impact on global climate change."
The Chinese official said that the satellite's in-orbit test hasalso been completed and that all performance indicators met thedesign requirements Jim Brown Youth Jersey , with the precision of carbon concentrationmonitoring being below four ppm (parts per million).
"We have developed a carbon satellite data sharing policy, andlevel 1A, 1B, 2 and 3 data will be open to users worldwide freely,"he said, referring to data that have been processed and relevantproducts.
Yang added that data and products from TanSat will be releasedthrough Fengyun satellite data center website and nationalintegrated Earth observation data sharing platform in quasireal-time.
"We have a key carbon initiative and we would love to see Chinamore engaged in that," Barbara Ryan Zane Gonzalez Youth Jersey , secretariat director of GEO,an intergovernmental organization, told reporters at the event.
"I think your satellite is going to be a key contribution, andparticularly with your broad open data polices that will helpenormously, really give us better estimates of how the Earthclimate is changing," Ryan said. Enditem
TOKYO, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- Subaru Corp. conducted vehicle inspections using uncertified staff for more than 30 years Howard Wilson Youth Jersey , Kyodo News on Friday quoted a company official as saying.
The uncertified inspections by the Japanese automaker were carried out at two of the firm's plants north of Tokyo in Gunma Prefecture, with the executive quoted as saying that inspections had been taken out by trainees and not certified staff.
"This practice has been traditionally carried out for more than 30 years," the executive said.
Following consultations with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Subaru Corp. may announce a recall on the vehicles on which the improper inspections were carried out.
Subaru permitted workers without the requisite certification who were in training to perform parts of the safety inspections and use stamps of authorized inspectors at two plants in Ota in southeastern Gunma Prefecture, in Japan's northern Kanto region Emmanuel Ogbah Youth Jersey , insiders with knowledge of the matter said.
They added that temporary permits were issued to workers undergoing training, who carried out final vehicle checks before becoming fully qualified.
Tokyo-based Subaru, whose corporate name was Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. until April this year, is known for producing the popular Crosstrek, Outback, Forester and Impreza models of vehicles.
ATHENS, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- Celebrated Argentinean artist Adrian Villar Rojas has transformed this summer the outdoor space of the Athens National Observatory opposite to the Athens Acropolis into a "jungle" Larry Ogunjobi Youth Jersey , posing to locals and foreign tourists questions regarding disappearance, extinction, the passage and volatility of time.
Rojas' impressive installation on the Hill of the Nymphs entitled "The Theater of Disappearance" is the first project ever he was allowed to set up in an archaeological site worldwide, organizers of the Greek NEON nonprofit organization which commissioned the work told Xinhua.
It is also the first time Greek authorities have given the green light for such a major project in an archaeological site.
The Athens National Observatory with a remarkable view of the Parthenon is a landmark in the historic centre of the Greek capital. It is the first research institution established in Greece in 1842.
The Athens National Observatory is part of the city's history and more often in recent years tries through various events to highlight the link between science and Art, according to its Director Manolis Pleionis.
