There's a lot of different bases there. Landsat data is global 15m data. Blue Marble is a commonly used 'world scale' map, decent down to 1:1M scale, etc. You'll probably need to be more specific about which NASA dataset you're talking about. OAM had both blue marble, and an i-Cubed colorized landsat dataset, as its two main bases. > > >> >> Jeff >> >> On Aug 11, 2009, at 10:16, Greg Troxel <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> >>> Richard Weait <[email protected]> writes: >>> >>>> Agenda >>>> ===== >>>> 1. discover current hosting and hardware details. >>>> 2. establish future hosting and hardware requirements and wish list. >>>> ... >>>> n. meet in person, raise toasts. >>> >>> We should heed crschmidt's message.
