OBS

Fisheries and Oceans Canada has launched a new program in collaboration with the Department of National Defence, Defence Research and Development Canada’s Centre for Security Science, Global Affairs Canada, and MDA [MDA Space, MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates] to detect vessels engaging in IUU [illegal, unreported, and unregulated] fishing, also known as "dark vessels." The $7 million Dark Vessel Detection Program uses satellite technology to locate and track vessels whose location transmitting devices have been switched off, sometimes in an attempt to evade monitoring, control and surveillance.

OBS

The program will provide state-of-the-art satellite data and analysis to small island nations and coastal states around the world where IUU [[illegal, unreported, and unregulated] fishing has a major impact on local economies, food security and the health of fish stocks.

OBS

Pêches et Océans Canada a lancé un nouveau programme en collaboration avec le ministère de la Défense nationale, le Centre des sciences pour la sécurité de Recherche et développement pour la défense Canada, Affaires mondiales Canada, et la société MDA [MacDonald Dettwiler et Associates], pour détecter les navires qui se livrent à la pêche INN [illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée]. Le Programme de détection des navires sombres, d'une valeur de 7 millions de dollars, utilise la technologie satellitaire pour localiser et suivre les navires dont les dispositifs de transmission de leur localisation ont été éteints, parfois dans le but d'échapper au suivi, au contrôle, et à la surveillance.

OBS

Le Programme fournira des données satellitaires et des analyses à la fine pointe de la technologie aux petits États insulaires et aux États côtiers du monde entier où la pêche INN [illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée] a des répercussions majeures sur les économies locales, la sécurité alimentaire, et la santé des stocks de poissons.

Internationally, illegal, unreported and unregulated(IUU) fishing is a major contributor to the decline of fish stocks and marine habitat destruction. It also undermines the livelihoods of... legitimate fish harvesters. [A new] program will provide state-of-the-art satellite data and analysis to small island nations and coastal states around the world where IUU fishing has a major impact on local economies, food security and the health of fish stocks. One major concern for our government is the impact IUU fishing has on food security, where fish resources of vulnerable coastal communities are threatened by the illegal fishing, affecting millions of people.

À l'échelle mondiale, la pêche illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée (INN) contribue de manière significative à la diminution des stocks de poissons et à la destruction de l'habitat marin, et sape les moyens de subsistance des pêcheurs légitimes. [Un nouveau programme] fournira des données satellitaires et des analyses à la fine pointe de la technologie aux petits États insulaires et aux États côtiers du monde entier où la pêche INN a des répercussions majeures sur les économies locales, la sécurité alimentaire, et la santé des stocks de poissons. Ses répercussions sur la sécurité alimentaire sont tout particulièrement préoccupantes, car les ressources en poissons des communautés côtières vulnérables sont menacées par la pêche INN, et cela concerne des millions de personnes.

The GCRMN is tasked by national governments, United Nations agencies, international NGOs and marine institutes to promote monitoring of the coral reefs of the world. The aim is to raise awareness on their current status and provide data to assist resource managers in coral reef conservation. The GCRMN is maintained by the Australian Institute of Marine Science drawing on our experience in monitoring in cooperation with the U. S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coral Health and Monitoring Program and in association with WorldFish Center(ICLARM) in Penang.

OBS

This workshop will expose participants to proven operational models for planning and managing geomatics techology transfer activities. Such activities have as their goals the sustainable transfer of geomatics data, products, tools and capabilities to international clients. The models are based on three principles of risk management : technical feasibility, practical availability and sustainability. The workshop provides both supplier-based and recipient-based perceptions of the technology transfer process. The presentation-based half-day program includes an extensive workshop manual and will be illustrated with real world examples drawn from the authors’ extensive international technology transfer experience. International Symposium "Geomatics in the Era of RADARSAT", Ottawa, 1997.

Cet atelier exposera les participants à des modèles opérationnels éprouvés pour la planification et la gestion d'activités liées au transfert de technologies en géomatique. Ces activités ont pour objectif le transfert durable de données, de produits, d'outils et de compétences à des clients étrangers. Les modèles reposent sur trois principes de gestion du risque : la faisabilité technique, la disponibilité et la durabilité. L'atelier présentera les perspectives du fournisseur et du bénéficiaire dans le processus de transfert de technologies. Un manuel détaillé accompagne le programme d'une demi journée basé sur des exposés. Les auteurs donneront en outre des exemples concrets tirés de leur vaste expérience internationale dans le domaine du transfert de technologies.

The Global Baseline Surface Radiation Network(GBSRN) has been designed in response to the Joint Scientific Committee(JSC) Working Group on Radiative Fluxes(WGRF) recommendation that the World Climate Research Program(WCRP) establish a global baseline network of surface stations to support studies of global climate change. The mission of this network would be : to monitor long-term trends in radiation fluxes at the surface to provide validation data for satellite determinations of surface radiation budget.

Since 1985, monthly means of the surface energy fluxes have been systematically extracted from periodicals, monographs, data reports and unpublished manuscripts. After certain standardization and formalization procedures, these monthly means were stored in the Global Energy Balance Archive paper records. In November 1986, the GEBA was made a project(A7) of the World Climate Program-Water.

Core project of International Geosphere-Biosphere Program. BAHC is an interdisciplinary project combining and integrating expertise from many disciplines, in particular eco-physiology, pedology, hydrology, and meteorology. BAHC in this respect has a transfer function : on the one hand developing techniques and algorithms to provide climatic data needed for hydroecological research, thereby translating the results of the World Climate Research Programme(WCRP) into the scales relevant for studies of changes of the conditions at the land surface, and on the other hand, providing soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer at larger scales, in particular, the areal pattern of heat and moisture fluxes according to land-surface heterogeneity. BAHC concentrates on investigations at scales where detailed studies of hydroecological processes are feasible in selected areas representing major ecosystems of the world and across boundaries between different ecosystems(ecotones, biome boundaries, etc.).

In 1987-after several years of development work-the Department of Meteorology and Wind Energy(now : Wind Energy and Atmospheric Physics Department) at Riso National laboratory introduced WAsP-a powerful tool for wind climate estimation, data analysis and siting of wind turbines. WAsP constitutes a complete analysis and application package. Wind data, whether in the form of a time series or a climatological table, can be transformed into regional wind atlasas. Such data may be the users own data or general climatological data. The program can be applied directly for estimation of wind climate with wind atlas data from the Danish and the European Wind Atlasas and corresponding data collections from other countries-all over the world.

The Global Precipitation Climatology Project(GPCP) is an element of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment(GEWEX) of the World Climate Research Program(WCRP). It was established by the WCRP in 1986 with the initial goal of providing monthly mean precipitation data on a 2. 5 x 2. 5 degree latitude-longitude grid for the period 1986-1995. This was recently extended to the year 2000. The GPCP will accomplish this by merging infrared and microwave satellite estimates of precipitation with rain gauge data from more than 30, 000 stations.
