Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellitetechnology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipmentfor scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world Without a vehicle, divers often became
Trang 5sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited Because undersea pressure affects their speech
organs, communication among divers has always been difficult or impossible But today, mostoceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human life andmake direct observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples taken fromthe water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites Direct observations of the ocean floor can be madenot only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of
sophisticated aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise
at depths of fifteen thousand feet In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in
order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories via satellite Particularly important for ocean
study are data about water temperature, currents, and weather Satellite photographs can show the distribution
of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean, Maps created from satellite pictures can representthe temperature and the color of the ocean's surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents fromlaboratories on dry land Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze datafrom submarines and satellites By creating a model of the ocean's movement and characteristics, scientistscan predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the environment
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and
more effectively Some of humankind's most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and food,
may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology

Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellitetechnology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipmentfor scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world Without a vehicle, divers often became
sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited Because undersea pressure affects their speech
organs, communication among divers has always been difficult or impossible But today, mostoceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human life andmake direct observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples taken fromthe water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites Direct observations of the ocean floor can be madenot only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of
sophisticated aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise
at depths of fifteen thousand feet In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in
order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories via satellite Particularly important for ocean
study are data about water temperature, currents, and weather Satellite photographs can show the distribution
of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean, Maps created from satellite pictures can representthe temperature and the color of the ocean's surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents fromlaboratories on dry land Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze datafrom submarines and satellites By creating a model of the ocean's movement and characteristics, scientistscan predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the environment
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and

may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology
