1 AmericaView REDDnet? Geospatial Data Delivery P.R. Blackwell
Stephen F. Austin State University

2 AmericaView/REDDnet What is AmericaView? Why do we need REDDnet?
The AmericaView/REDDnet Demonstration Project Why Do We Care? Future Directions

3 AmericaView is: a national program promoting satellite remote sensing technology. a organization of state-based, academically lead, consortia. mandated to archive and distribute satellite remote sensing data.

4 Why Do We Need Faster Access to Data?

6 Emergency Response Why are we obsessed with faster downloads?
In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the US Army Corps of Engineers commissioned post-event aerial ortho-imagery for certain areas affected by the storms. This acquisition generated nearly a terabyte of data desperately needed by researchers and individuals working on mitigation issues. Distributing these data in a timely manner was problematic, often resulting in road trips with boxes of CDs. The difference between a minute and a half and 13 seconds may be trivial when dealing with a single 250Mb landsat scene, but it takes on great importance when trying to push terabyte datasets in times of emergency.

10 Start! 13 Seconds! Done! Landsat ETM+ Download
Alaska features one of the first AmericaView GloVis installations and features a very nice shopping chart utility and package-on-demand. Users receive an with the files are ready for download. California is a non-GloVis distribution featuring three mirror sites. Indiana is a GloVis site offering multispectral, Thermal and Panchromatic bundles. Test uses multispectral Wisconsin’s GloVis instance was offline for maintenance during the testing period, so their very nice path/row interface was used. Wisconsin offers compressed tar files of pan, thermal, and multispectral band combinations. Arkansas’s CAST system was one of the fastest using pre-packaged and compressed bundles and good download speed. Texas packages on the fly, drawing data from the same servers that are used for local access to the data. (Note: testing of Texas download was done in Knoxville Tennessee.) AmericaView REDDnet uses a standard GloVis interface. The order process hands off to a Java Application that retrieves available data offering for the selected scene and allows the user to select the file(s) desired and a destination directory. A Java applet is downloaded to the client along with the L-Store path to the exnode. The applet then downloads the data… In less than 15 seconds! Done!
