Project Vulcanとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Project Vulcan is a NASA/DOE funded effort under the North American Carbon Program (NACP) to quantify North American fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions at space/time scales much finer than has been achieved in the past. The initial purpose of the Vulcan Project was to aid in quantification of the North American carbon budget, to support inverse estimation of carbon sources and sinks, and to support the demands posed by higher resolution CO₂ observations. The detail and scope of the Vulcan CO₂ inventory has now made it a valuable tool for policymakers, demographers, social scientists and the public at large.
