remote sensing data i am posting this for someone else please respond to the address listed below please also excuse the duplication as this message has been crossposted thanks request for ideas for applications of remote sensing databases via the internet nasa is planning to expand the domain of users of its earth and space science data this effort will o use the evolving infrastructure of the u s global change research program including the mission to planet earth mtpe and the earth observing system data and information system eosdis programs o use the internet particularly the high performance computing and communications program s nren national research and education network as a means of providing access to and distribution of science data and images and value added products o provide broad access to and utilization of remotely sensed images in cooperation with other agencies especially noaa epa doe ded doi usgs and usda o support remote sensing image and data users and development communities the user and development communities to be included but not limited to as part of this effort are educators commercial application developers e g television weather forecasters librarians publishers agriculture specialists transportation forestry state and local government planners and aqua business this program will be initiated in your assistance is requested to identify potential applications of remote sensing images and data we would like your ideas for potential application areas to assist with development of the implementation plan please note this is not a request for proposals we are seeking your ideas in these areas potential commercial use of remote sensing data and images potential noncommercial use of remote sensing data and images in education especially levels k and other noncommercial areas types of on line capabilities and protocols to make the data more accessible additional points of contacts for ideas and addresses and names from whom to request proposals for your convenience a standard format for responses is included below feel free to amend it as necessary either e mail or fax your responses to us by may e mail on internet rsdwg orion ossa hq nasa gov ascii no binary attachments please fax ernie lucier c o rsdwg nasa hq fax survey responses in the following formats may also be placed in the ftp directory ftp pub rsdwg on orion nasa gov please indicate the format acceptable formats are word for windows x macintosh word x and x and rtf response format request for ideas for applications of remote sensing databases via the internet potential commercial use of remote sensing data and images if possible identify the relevant types of data or science products user tools and standards uses of remote sensing data and images in education especially levels k and other noncommercial areas if possible identify the relevant types of data or science products user tools and standards types of on line capabilities and protocols to make the data and images more accessible if possible identify relevant types of formats standards and user tools additional suggested persons or organizations that may be resources for further ideas on applications areas please include name organization address and telephone number organizations mailing lists electronic and paper periodicals etc to whom a solicitation for proposals should be sent when developed please include name organization address and telephone number we would benefit from knowing why users that know about nasa remote sensing data do not use the data is it because they do not have ties to nasa investigators or high cost lack of accessibility incompatible data formats poor area of interest coverage inadequate spatial or spectral resolution in case we have questions please send us your name address phone number and e mail address if you have one if you don t wish to send us this information feel free to respond to the survey anonymously thank you for your assistance
