本三年度的研究計畫將整合福爾摩沙衛星三號，中華航空公司和長榮航空公司的飛機觀測，以及長榮海運貨輪的觀測，以建立一組太平洋地區溫室效應氣體的三度空間分布資料。我們將分別使用波音公司所生產的飛機和空中巴士所生產的飛機進行觀測。以空中巴士的機型而言，將使用中華航空公司的A340-300 和長榮航空公司的A330-400 進行觀測；以波音機型而言，將使用B747-400 或B777-200 進行觀測。空中巴士觀測所需的儀器將透過與歐盟的IAGOS 計畫合作獲得，波音飛機觀測所需的CME 儀器將購買日本航空目前正在使用的相同儀器，貨輪的觀測儀器將透過與英國劍橋大學合作而取得。波音飛機的觀測任務預計於2008 年底至2009 年初展開；空中巴士A340-300 的觀測預計於2009 年夏季展開；空中巴士A330-400 的觀測預計於2010 年夏季開始；貨輪的觀測預計於2008 年底至2009 年初展開。第一年度的預算將部份支付波音飛機的儀器費用，而第二年度和第三年度的預算將支付飛行A340-300 和A330-400 一年的部份燃油費用。所有的儀器預期將使用10 年以上，以提供太平洋地區溫室效應氣體的長期觀測資料。本計畫爾後飛機觀測所需的燃油及其他費用，將尋求政府相關部門的支持，例如：環保署和外交部已表示願意部分支持此計畫的延續性觀測計畫。如此一來，透過我們自己的衛星、商用民航機，和貨輪的觀測資料搜集，我們將可暸解溫室效應氣體未來10 年在太平洋地區的濃度變化情形，同時有助於國際社會在全球暖化和氣候變遷的情形之下對全球大氣的觀測和暸解。 ; In this 3-year project we plan to integrate observations from the FORMOSAT-3 satellites, commercial aircrafts operated by China Airlines and EVA Air, and commercial container ships operated by Evergreen Marine Group to build a three-dimensional distribution of greenhouse gases over the Pacific. Two types of aircrafts will be employed in the measurements. For the Airbus aircrafts, both A340-300 from China Airlines and A330-400 from EVA Air are considered for this work. For the Boeing aircrafts, both Boeing 747-400s and 777-200s are considered for carrying the instruments. We collaborate with the European IAGOS project for the IAGOS instruments to be installed on A340-300 and A330-400. For the Boeing aircrafts, we will use the Japanese CME instrument that has been certified to fly on B747-400s and B777-200s, respectively. The phase I of this project will run from 2008 to 2010. The first IAGOS Pacific fly is scheduled to launch in summer 2009 using the A340-300 from the China Airlines. The first IAGOS instrument to fly on-board A330-400 is scheduled to launch in summer 2010 from the EVA Air. The first CME instrument on-board a Boeing aircraft is scheduled to launch into action in late 2008 or early 2009. The container ship measurement is scheduled to launch into action in late 2008 or early 2009. The budget for the first year will be used to pay for the instrument cost for CME. The budget for the second year will be used to pay for the fuel cost in carrying an estimated weight of 120 kg of the IAGOS packages I and II on-board an A340-300 aircraft for one year. The budget for the third year is similar to the second year but to pay for the fuel cost of an A330-400 aircraft carrying IAGOS packages I and II for one year. After one year’s successful operation for each aircraft, funding will be searched from other sources to support their continue missions. For example, Taiwan EPA and Ministry of Foreign Affairs have already expressed their strong support to partially cover the cost of the operation. The instruments in aircrafts and container ships are expected to operate for more than 10 years. In doing so, we will be able to produce a three-dimensional greenhouse measurements over the Pacific region. These data will be very important for estimating the total emissions of greenhouse emissions in the Pacific regions. These data will also represent one of the key contributions from Taiwan to the international community in the context of global warming and climate change. ; 研究期間 9708 ~ 9807
