6. Stats by Sites

8. Accomplishments Provide for a user to download data subsets Incorporate MERIS data into the WTF Incorporate CHRIS/PROBA data into the WTF Continue to build on infrastructure of existing networks and validation sites Incorporate MODIS 8-day LAI (1 km, 200x200 km 2 subsets, HDF-EOS

9. Accomplishments Provide users a way to easily identify all archived MODIS and Landsat images within a user- specified time window from the baseline interface Added STRM & U.S. National Elevation Dataset Revised web page layouts Added UK-DMC data for Railroad Valley(pending approval by DMC, Int’l Imaging)

10. Plans Incorporate Field-collected data (content varies with site, time, reduction/QA) data into the WTF (Focus on RR Valley Spectral data @Oakridge DAAC) Incorporate additional sites such as: –GTOS “Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring Sites” (TEMS, etc) –Add CEOP/NASDA, CSIRO, GT-net, and ILTERS –A site on every continent by (i.e. Siberia, Russia/ Mongolia/ Gobi desert, China) Provide additional capabilities for custom processing of data
