氣體釋放監測系統

看過GOOGLE MAPS的朋友,相信也都知道GOOGLE還有GOOGLE MARSGOOGLE MOON。但現在有個計畫,是監測地球所釋放氣體,搭配GOOGLE MAPS,稱為GOOGAS(GOOGLE GAS?)。

Locations of the CO2-rich and CH4-rich gas emissions archived in GOOGAS (yellow and blue triangles), CO2 Earth degassing map (color scale) from carbon mass balance of aquifers (Chiodini et al., 2004), and seismic activity in Italy (see http://legacy.ingv.it/CSI/), indicated by white dots. Two previously identified large structures, the Tuscan Roman Degassing Structure (TRDS) and the Campanian Degassing Structure (CDS), are also labeled. Background map of Italy provided by Google Maps.

該計畫連結的網址是:http://googas.ov.ingv.it/,只要點選地圖上的觀測站,就會顯示該測站的相關資料;再點選資料中的氣體名稱,就會顯示出該測站所觀測到氣體釋放量的資料。

目前這個計畫僅限於義大利,但GOOGAS當然希望可以繼續推廣到世界各地,讓大家可以即時得到地球釋放氣體的觀測資料。

註:上圖中等值分佈的顏色區塊,是疊加到GOOGLE MAPS上面的,無法直接在GOOGLE MAPS上看到那樣的圖。
