A private company announced Wednesday that it’s launching its own greenhouse gas measuring network to supplement governmental and academic efforts that have tracked greenhouse emissions for decades.
Carbon dioxide—the greenhouse gas deemed most responsible for global warming—has been continuously measured in the Earth’s atmosphere since 1958. The measurements have been overseen by the federal government’s National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
The new sensor network will be overseen in a joint venture between Washington, D. C.-based Earth Networks, formerly AWS Convergence Technologies, and Scripps. Earth Networks is parent company of the popular WeatherBug weather network and computer application used by consumers, schools, government agencies and TV stations.
"We have the largest network of weather sensors in the world," says Robert Marshall, CEO and founder of Earth Networks. Marshall says the new sensors will piggyback (借助) on some of the company’s existing 8 000 weather sensors.
The greenhouse gas sensors will be networked directly into the weather sensor network, Earth Networks says. Because the Earth Networks infrastructure is already deployed, the greenhouse sensors can be deployed quickly.
Marshall says the network will be devoted to measuring carbon dioxide, methane (甲烷) and other greenhouse gases. Over the next two years, it will consist of 100 sensors worldwide: 50 in the US, 25 in western Europe and 25 in the rest of the world.
The company will invest $ 25 million over the next five years to deploy and operate the network.
Earth Networks, in Germantown, Md., is working closely with scientists from Scripps, since Scripps deployed the first carbon dioxide sensor more than a half century ago—in 1958, at the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. That remains the longest continuous record of atmospheric concentrations (浓度) of carbon dioxide in the world.
The announcement was made Wednesday at Scripps in La Jolla, Calif. , where the first new sensor was deployed. A second will be deployed soon in Washington, D.C. [br] Why is Earth Networks cooperating with scientists from Scripps?
选项
A、The company will invest $ 25 million over the next five years.
B、Earth Networks needs help from the scientists from Scripps.
C、Scripps has a lot of experience and can give help to Earth Networks.
D、Scripps is the most well-known institution in America.
答案
C
解析
综合推断题。由定位句可知,Earth Networks公司正在与Scripps的科学家密切合作,由于Scripps多半个世纪以前即1958年在夏威夷的莫纳罗亚活火山就部署了第一个二氧化碳监测站。从定位句可以推出Scripps富有经验,竞争性强,能够提供帮助,故C)“Scripps富有经验,能够为Earth Networks公司提供帮助”为正确答案。
