In this publication , different times are used in different contexts . the official reference times are given in co - ordinated universal time and labelled utc 本年报依照内文需要采用了不同的时间系统。正式的时间以协调世界时（即utc ）为准。
Co - ordinated universal time : the internationally adopted basis for official time . for all practical purposes , it can be taken to be the same as greenwich mean time 协调世界时：现代所有国家所采用的官方时间标准，在大多数实际用途方面，协调世界时和格林尼治平时无甚分别。
Utc is a stable and even time scale based on the frequency of atomic oscillations in atomic clocks . this is the current international time scale for civil use 协调世界时是以原子钟内的原子振动频率为依据的时间标准，是十分稳定而且均匀的时标，亦是现时国际所采用的民用时间标准。
