| 英文摘要 |
This Project is aimed at building up the channel for exchanging satellite oceanographic data and technology with APEC member economies through actively propagating our knowledge and technology on the satellite ground station. This is part of the work of EPA on overseeing the APEC project Ocean Models and Information System for the APEC Region (OMISAR). The satellite station that we set up last year in HoChiMinh City is collecting the satellite data that covers all South China Sea. For this year, we drafted OMISAR-2003 proposal, defended and were granted funding by APEC Central fund. We also co-organized the Sixth Steering Committee (SC-6) meeting and the Ninth Workshop of Omisar (WOM-9), sharing experience in processing and interpreting satellite oceanographic data. Exchanging satellite data is progressing well, assisting Vietnamese partner setting up 2nd satellite ground station, and reached consensus on real-time sharing satellite data when the internet cost is affordable. The satellite data of South China Sea shall be a valuable data set for our oceanographers. Hope that EPA and other government agency may enlarge this international cooperative relation to include more scientists and more disciplines.
