| Abstract(in English) | Oceans occupy about 1/3 of the surface of the globe. Enormous unexploited mineral resources lie on and under the seafloor. Ocean observes about 30 % of the carbon dioxide that human beings emit. Furthermore, the oceanic circulation of sea water plays a key role for the stabilization of globe environment. On the other hand, catastrophic earthquakes and tsunamis sometimes occur in ocean. As just described, human beings and ocean have deep relation with each other. In order to keep sustainable development of human beings, it is important to correctly understand the nature of ocean, and to appropriately exploit it. However because of its immensity and vastness of the sea water covering the seafloor, it is harder to access and observe it than those on land. Implementation of the infrastructure for broadband communication is also far behind than that for land. In order to understand its nature by observation, and exploiting it, it is needed to expand the infrastructure for broadband communication in ocean. In this paper, we introduce the present status of utilization of satellite communication in ocean, and show the view of its future. |
