Q.41 "पोलरगैप परियोजना"( Polargap Project) के संदर्भ में, निम्नलिखित बयानों पर विचार करें:

1. यह पृथ्वी के विद्युत और चुंबकीय क्षेत्र के बारे में डाटा कैप्चर करने का एक अंतरराष्ट्रीय मिशन है

2. इस परियोजना को बड़े पैमाने पर विश्व बैंक द्वारा वित्त पोषित किया गया है

Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Ans. D

PolarGAP is an ambitious international mission to capture new and critical data about the Earth’s global gravity field. 

Innovative radar systems and Lidar technologies will also be deployed from Twin Otter aircraft to fill the ‘data gap’ in

measurements of surface elevation over the South Pole region south of 83.5°.

Two earth observing satellite missions (GOCE and CryoSat 2) mounted by the European Space Agency (ESA) revolutionised

scientists’ ability to ‘map’ the Earth’s global gravity field and monitor how Earth’s ice fields are responding to global

change.  However, because GOCE’s orbit did not cross the Poles there is a data gap at the South Pole.

The PolarGAP project will collect new gravity data and combine them with datasets from other Antarctic missions to build

the first accurately constrained global gravity model. This is essential as global gravity data provide unique

information on mass distribution and transport in the Earth System, linked to processes and changes in the Solid Earth,

hydrology, cryosphere, oceans and atmosphere. Key applications of gravity data include geodetic studies (levelling and

mapping), navigation (GPS/GLONASS) and satellite orbit planning.

Q.351 Which of the following best describes “RIMPAC” sometimes seen in news ?

A) It is a specialised agency of the United Nations responsible for regulating shipping

B) It is the world’s largest military exercise between United States & South Korea

C) It is a naval ship that is built and primarily intended for naval warfare

D) It is the world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise administered by the United States Navy’s pacific fleet

Ans. D

RIMPAC, the Rim of the Pacific Exercise, is the world's largest international maritime warfare exercise. RIMPAC is held

bienniallyduring June and July of even-numbered years from Honolulu, Hawaii. It is hosted and administered by the United

States Navy's Pacific Fleet, headquartered at Pearl Harbor, in conjunction with the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, and

Hawaii National Guard forces under the control of the Governor of Hawaii. The US invites military forces from the Pacific

Rim and beyond to participate. With RIMPAC the United States Pacific Command seeks to enhance interoperability among

Pacific Rim armed forces, ostensibly as a means of promoting stability in the region to the benefit of all participating

nations. Described by the US Navy as a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the

cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans.

RIMPAC 2018.

On 23 May 2018, the Pentagon announced that it had "disinvited" China because of recent militarization of islands in the

South China Sea, after China had announced in January that it had been invited.The PRC has previously attended

RIMPAC 2014 & 2016.

On 30 May 2018, the US Navy announced that the following navies would take part in the exercise;

The Global Green Bond Partnership (GGBP) launched at the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS). This new partnership will support efforts of sub-national entities such as cities, states, and regions, corporations and private companies, and financial institutions to accelerate the issuance of green bonds.

The founding members of the Global Green Bond Partnership GGBP include the World Bank, IFC - a member of the World Bank Group, Amundi,  European Investment Bank, Climate Bonds Initiative, Ceres, ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) and the Low Emissions Development Strategies Global Partnership (LEDS GP).
