Chris,

Right.

Fantastic!  I am sure that our community, especially the satellite
researchers, would love to get their hands on DMSP imagery.

Can you refresh my memory as to the volume of data that this would
represent (e.g. number of products per hour and size of those
products)?

>Thanks,

Wonderful news to say the least.  I dedicate my effort to this right
now if I wasn't fully occupied in preparing for a McIDAS training
workshop that I will be hosting starting next Wednesday.  Perhaps you
could begin a dialog with Linda Miller, our External Programs
Coordinator?  I CCed Linda (and others) on this note so that she (they)
will be aware of our conversation.

Thanks again for pursuing this!
