NASA Earth observing system, under the name of EOS, is a coordinated network of satellites with a low slope intended for long-term, Global Terrestrial Observing, biosphere, atmosphere and oceans. EOS is a major component of the scientific department of NASA, It helps to better study the earth, thus providing valuable assistance to the world scientific community and the general public.
The purpose of surveillance systems for ground EOS
Хотя EOS (with English. translated as earth observation system) the start was given at the beginning of the 1980s, the actual results of the system began to give only in the early 1990s. Its main elements are the components of a network of satellites, they are intended for the monitoring and analysis of weather and climate events, as well as other research. Studies using EOS conducted to study:
- radiation;
- clouds;
- steam and precipitation;
- greenhouse gases;
- terrestrial hydrology and ecosystem processes;
- glaciers;
- ozone hole, stratosphere, and more.
EOS Platform
As a result, the development of earth observation system, компанией Макса Полякова была создана EOS Platform . It provides new opportunities for research:
- 3D modeling analyzed picture in real time;
- analysis of the image in real time;
- storage of large amounts of data;
- visualization and analysis.
