Summary statistics on GLIMS database now more available
Hi all, I've added new statistics to the bottom of the Data Access page for glims, at http://glims.colorado.edu/glacierdata/ These are generated on the fly, so please be patient when the page is loading. Some of the numbers are different from summary stats I sent to this list a few months ago, due to previously not taking into full account the multi-temporal outlines for many of the glaciers. The effect was larger than I thought. As of now (after the ingest of the New Zealand glaciers), the numbers are: Number of outlines (snapshots) 122414 Earliest analysis is dated 1870-01-01 Most recent analysis is dated 2011-09-08 Number of glaciers 117201 Area of glacier coverage (latest snapshot), km2 420859 Number of glaciers with multi-temporal coverage 3403 I apologize to anyone who has to revise these numbers in any other report, poster, presentation, etc. The numbers are still affected slightly by a bit of double counting in Alaska, but they should now be much closer to the truth. The ID assignment problem in Alaska will be fixed in the next few months, I'm hoping. Best regards, Bruce -- Bruce H.
