Re: 19990727: NOAA/NGDC DMSP data for the Unidata community (cont.)

Tom,

I will be happy to do whatever is needed in the area of coordination with Chris
Elvidge and NGDC.  Ethan worked at NGDC and is familiar with the data.  I
talked with him briefly about it and there's definitely mucho data to deal
with, so it's understandable that NGDC is submitting a proposal to HPCC.  

Let Chris know, or I can contact him, that I'll do everything I can to help.

Linda
