Dear GLIMS listers:</div>

It has been several years since there were any changes to the GLIMS/glacier Science Team Acquisition Request for mission planning. I welcome any feedback on recent experiences with ASTER data. Things you might address could be:</div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<ol style="caret-color: rgb(50, 49, 48); color: rgb(50, 49, 48); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif">
<li><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Is it still useful to you? No longer useful?</span></font></li><li><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Are you still using it? If not, would you if adequate imagery existed? Or have other sensor systems made ASTER outdated for your application?</span></font></li><li><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">How are you using it, and which products are you using?</span></font></li><li><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Are ASTER acquisitions adequate? Too few or enough images? Is the date of year of acquired images helpful or problematic? Why is it problematic
(too low sun, too abundant clouds, too much snow, wrong season for other reasons? Or is heavy snow cover what you are after? </span></font></li><li><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Can the imaging season be improved-- if so, what months would you prefer? Be specific, including the location of the desired images.<br>
</span></font></li><li><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">If you are using ASTER data and a future continuation of previous acquisition dates and numbers of scenes is adequate, we want to know that,
too. </span></font></li><li><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="margin: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">You may add references or links to your papers if it helps make your case.</span></font></li></ol>
