| Popis: |
During the next two decades, increasing numbers of spacecraft will be launched for the study of Earth processes. There will probably be an accelerated growth in the amount of data processed onboard and returned from spacecraft sensors. Data will become more sophisticated, because sensor technology will improve. The result of these developments is predictable: the acquisition, processing and dissemination of information will have to become routine and the costs of data products will have to be reduced. Yet, there is little coordination on the issues of what kinds of data are desirable, how data from different systems complement one another, or how users can access varied types of data from divergent sources. While raw data are useful to some, more commonly raw data have to be transformed by users into “information products”, and it is these second generation products which are directly useable for decision-making purposes. |
