Dear GLIMS colleagues, ASTER Level 1A and Level 1B data are still free. I have been saying for quite some time that the pricing policy will soon take effect, and I am saying it again based on the latest information. August? I imagine that all GLIMS RC chiefs and stewards are already registered and are using the EOS Data Gateway to obtain your still-free ASTER data products, but if not here is the site where you can register: http://edcimswww.cr.usgs.gov/pub/imswelcome/ Consider this message probably my final urging for you to get busy ordering some of the excellent data available, still for free. If you checked the data availability most recently some months ago, and you are studying the northern hemisphere, my belief is that you will be pleasantly surprised to see how much data is now available that was not available even last spring. When the pricing policy takes effect, I will send a new message along with any other pricing news that may accompany the official policy. --Jeff K Jeffrey S. Kargel U.S. Geological Survey 2255 N.
