Future on the EOS (Earth Observing System)information applied to the gas hydrates
新一代地球观测信息在天然气水合物研究中的应用展望

Volumes of gas hydrates stored on earth could be developed and used as a kind of clean fuel.The release of methane from the gas hydrate can lead to the global climate changes,and the environmental disasters can be induced by the gas hydrate.Therefore,the studies and exploitation of the gas hydrates have becom e a focus of attention at home and abroad.New EOS(Earth Observing System)information,including the launched EOS-AM1(MODIS and MOPITT)and the will be launched CHEM can offer a new kind of technological tools for the study and development of the gas hydrates.They could be applied to the gas hydrates by the information characters of MODIS and MOPITT.
