中文摘要：

尽管许多归化为美国人的数字地球系统证明了为建模和与地球表面相关、近表面的 geospatial 对象的可视化相当有用，他们没为在地质或大气的空格当模特儿和应用程序的目的被设计。对能与完整的维数处理 geospatial 信息的一个新数字地球系统有紧迫的需要。在这份报纸，我们在场一个新数字地球系统，称为的 SolidEarth 作为为包括它的表面当模特儿和整个地球空间的可视化的一个其他的虚拟地球，内部、外面的空间。SolidEarth 由四个功能的部件组成：在地理空间当模特儿，在地质的空间当模特儿，在大气的空间当模特儿，并且，综合可视化和分析。SolidEarth 有一个全面处理到第三种空间尺寸和一系列复杂 3D 空间分析功能。因此，它对容量的表示和 inner/ 的视觉分析很相配在地球空间的外部范围。SolidEarth 能在象地球科学研究那样的很多个领域里被使用，教育，数字地球应用程序的构造，和另外的专业版土练习科学。

英文摘要：

Although many of the first-generation Digital Earth systems have proven to be quite useful for the modeling and visualization of geospatial objects relevant to the Earth＇s surface and near-surface, they were not designed for the purpose of modeling and application in geological or atmospheric space. There is a pressing need for a new Digital Earth system that can process geospatial information with full dimensionality. In this paper, we present a new Digital Earth system, termed SolidEarth, as an alternative virtual globe for the modeling and visualization of the whole Earth space including its surface, interior, and exterior space. SolidEarth consists of four functional components： modeling in geographical space, modeling in geological space, modeling in atmo- spheric space, and, integrated visualization and analysis. SolidEarth has a comprehensive treatment to the third spatial dimension and a series of sophisticated 3D spatial analysis functions. Therefore, it is well-suited to the volumetric representation and visual analysis of the inner/ outer spheres in Earth space. SolidEarth can be used in a number of fields such as geoscience research and education, the construction of Digital Earth applications, and other professional practices of Earth science.
