beyond benefits based on relying on only separate/individual systems au-delà de ce que peuvent offrir les systèmes utilisés séparément Explanation: But the capability to pull together difference systems as in AFIS maximises the benefits of EO data beyond benefits based on relying on only [component] systems used separately the clue is [1] in the sentence structure But introduces some sort of opposition / contrast - as the first part is about the capability to pull together ... data from difference systems the contrast with beyond benefits based on relying on only systems must be in the fact that these "systems" ARE NOT "pulled together" IOW used each on its own and [2] in the fact that AFIS i.e. the Advanced Fire Information System is anyway by definition made only of "systems" for collecting EO (Earth observation) data [NASA MODIS, EUMETSAT MSG, GOES, NPP, etc], so saying relying on only systems is tautological nonsense as AFIS relies only on various "systems" [NASA MODIS, EUMETSAT MSG, GOES, NPP, etc] anyway a classical straightforward case of synergy ("pull all the data together and you'll get more out of them"), but expressed in a confusing way. |

dépassant les avantages obtenus en se basant sur un seul système Explanation: IMO, the source text is flawed and should read something like this : "the capability to pull together diffeRENT systems as in AFIS maximizes the benefits of EO data beyond [the ] benefits based on relying on only [one system]." in other words, the AFIS system combines the data from different satellites, so is much better than relying on a single system. |

Reference: AFIS & EO data Reference information: Advanced Fire Information System From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Advanced Fire Information System (AFIS) provides information on current and historical fires detected by sensors on Earth observation satellites, e.g. NASA MODIS, EUMETSAT MSG, GOES, NPP, etc. covering multiple regions across the globe. The system provides monitoring of active fire on a web-based map and delivers near real-time alerts to registered users when a fire is detected within their specified areas of interest via email, SMS, XMPP, etc. The system started as a research project at the CSIR Meraka Institute in collaboration with ESKOM in 2007. It was then extended to support many fire protection associations in South Africa. ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Fire_Information_Syst... |
