IDS-LSC
Definition
- The Inter-Disciplinary Studies-Land Surface Climatology (IDS-LSC) project, formerly the International Satellite Land-Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP) Retrospective Analysis Project (IRAP), is designed to correlate historic satellite data with current satellite data and ground truth experiments in order to detect any long-term change in the land surface resulting from climate or human activities. The primary area of study is the the central United States with a special area of interest in the southwest United States and northern Mexico in the Sonoran Desert. The project involves various scientists' independent and cooperative studies, for example, comparing historical data with current data to draw inferences about changes in the vegetation adn geology on the land surface. The following IDS-LSC data is managed by PLDS: - AVHRR LAC, TM, SMMR Contacts: PLDS User Support Office SUPPORT/GSFCMail NASA/GSFC Code 934 SPAN: pldsg3::pldsuso Greenbelt, MD 20771 pldsuso@pldsg3.gsfc.nasa.gov (301) 286-9761 FTS 888-9761 PLDS User Support Office SPAN: pldsj1::george NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory george@pldsj2.jpl.nasa.gov Mail Stop 183-501 (George Karas) 4800 Oak Grove Drive (818) 354-6363 Pasadena, CA 91109 FTS 792-6363 PLDS User Support Office SPAN: ECO::PLDS NASA Ames Research Center pldsops@pldsa1.arc.nasa.gov Ecosystem Science (Jay Skiles) and Technology Branch (415) 604-3614 or 604-5947 Mail Stop 242-4 FTS 464-3514 or 464-5947 Moffett Field, CA 94035 Principal Investigator - Chuck Hutchinson University of Arizona Arizona Remote Sensing Center Tuscon, AZ 85721 (602)621-7896 telemail: CHUTCHINSON/GSFCMAIL Data Availability: The data are currently free of charge to scientists associated with PLDS.
