Further Reading
Is there a good general introduction to Remote Sensing on the Net?
The CIESIN Thematic Guide to Remote Sensing is an excellent
introduction at http://www.ciesin.org/TG/RS/RS-home.html
CCRS have a beautiful set of annotated images (of Canada) on their
pages, at http://www.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca/ccrs/tour/toure.html. This
presents a number of images - chiefly Landsat and SPOT - together with
explanations of what can be seen in them, and why particular features
appear the way they do.
Subject: I have a question that isn't covered in the FAQ
I have a question that isn't covered in the FAQ
1. Look in the CEOS IDN. This is the authoritative worldwide
information system that answers every possible question about
Satellite Earth Observation. The IDN has three coordinating nodes,
each carrying the complete directory:
America
The Global Change Master Directory is accessible by WWW
at http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/ or by telnet to
gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov (login as "gcdir").
Europe
The IDN is available via Hyper-G or WWW via Esrin's GDS
at http://gds.esrin.esa.it/CCEOS-IDN or by telnet to
epocat.esrin.esa.it (login as "esapid").
Asia
The IDN is available from NASDA at
http://www.eoc.nasda.go.jp/guide/eus/index.html, or by
telnet to nsaeoc.eoc.nasda.go.jp
2. Look in Esrin's GDS (URL below). Supports browsing, or keyword
search types of access.
3. Look in USGS's www-glis (URL below). A major source of detailed
information.

LISTSERV and discussion lists via e-mail only
A word on Listservs:
A Listserv is a mailing list. When you are subscribed, you receive all
messages posted to the list, until and unless you unsubscribe.
Likewise, when you post a message to the list, it is recieved by all
list subscribers.
To (un)subscribe to a list, send an email to the address given, with
the single line:
(un)subscribe listname your-full-name
where 'listname' is the part of the posting address to the left of the
"@".
Please do NOT post subscribe/unsubscribe requests to the lists. It
_won't_ have the desired effect, but it _will_ irritate list members.
Messages should be on subjects appropriate to the list. Inappropriate
messages, and particularly advertisements, will generate nothing but
ill-will. On the other hand, don't be shy to ask something just
because "this may be a stupid question...". The largest volume of
stupid messages typically comprises attempts to subscribe or
unsubscribe.
A common source of minor annoyance on Lists arises when a perfectly
good but perhaps rather narrow/technical question has been asked, and
answers are posted. The answer may be exactly what the questioner
wanted, but of little or no general interest to other readers. Many
such answers are unintentionally posted, because that's what happens
when you simply "reply" to a message (unless the author of the
original message has explicitly set a Reply-to: line in the header).

* WXSAT-L
This list serves two functions. The primary function is the
distribution of NOAA status and prediction bulletins for the GOES
and polar weather satellites. This data is the same data available
via SCIENCEnet NOAA.SAT bulletin board area. The mail list also
acts as a reflector for subscribers' comments and discussion of
matters related to weather satellites, ground stations, and
associated topics.
Contact: wxsat-request@ssg.com (Richard B. Emerson)
* IMAGRS-L
Digital Image Processing of Remotely Sensed Data
The area of digital image processing of remotelly sensed data
should be the main topic of this club - so exactly the problems of
the interest are the methods of digital image processing for
remotelly sensed data (like LANDSAT or SPOT) as well as microwave
and also new types of data for remote sensing the Earth or other
objects. Also computer problems with these very time demanding
methods can interesting including visualization, paralel computing
etc.

Subject: Terminology and Acronyms
Terminology and Acronyms
I used to have a list of acronyms here, and the intention of merging
with other lists when I could find the time. Then I realised that it's
been done by others - better than I'm ever likely to! So here instead
is where you get CCRS's extensive glossary:
http://www.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca/common/comndexe.html.
Subject: Web pages
Web pages
Some of the front pages and other main pages from the people who run
space programmes, and a few other sites with interesting material on

Russians who want to impress their social media followers can now rent huge bouquets of flowers for just long enough to snap an Instagram worthy photo, It's revealed.
Pop up services are advertising on social networks in planning for International Women's Day on 8 March, A public holiday in Russia when women are in the past feted with flowers and other gifts. They're offering 10 minutes with an enormous bouquet sufficient time to perfect the best angle and pose before the courier takes it back, The TJournal news blog reports. One account offers women a fleeting visit from 101 roses for 700 roubles ($12; 10).
Posting selfies with huge bouquets seemingly sent by a boyfriend or secret admirer has been a trend among Russian Instagram and VKontakte social network users for quite a while.
The 360 TV website contacted the master of one flower rental Instagram account, [url=https://charmdatescamreviews.wordpress.com/tag/hot-russian-women/]russian sexy girls[/url] Who insisted his service was real and had received many asks. He says the 10 minutes can be drawn out a little, But not consistently. "the most important thing to avoid is: 'I'm obtaining put some make up on and tidy up' and all that', according to him.
Another account that 360 TV contacted ended up being a joke set up to mock the new trend, And there was plenty of ridicule from Russians placing comments online. "the secret of a mysterious bunch of flowers from a stranger has been EXPOSED, Writes an individual on Twitter. "might be quintessence of modern values, Says an Instagram surfer, Who suggests similar service aimed at men: "A Rolex download, Two iPhones shared and a selfie taken in a Moscow office with a panoramic view.
