"Year maps" feature now available

Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well while hunkered down. The "year maps" feature, also sometimes called "RGI on demand", is now available at glims.org. It is still experimental and imperfect, but I hope it will make easier the task of downloading GLIMS data as of a particular date. We welcome your feedback. Whether downloading via the map interface (http://www.glims.org/maps/glims), a query on a particular glacier, or the text-search interface (http://www.glims.org/maps/textsearch/), the download page now offers an additional choice: "GLIMS (multi-temporal) data", or "Snapshot (RGI) data". If you select the second option, you can enter a date for which you want GLIMS glacier data. The outlines in the database with as-of dates closest to the selected date will be packaged up for you. An additional attribute is included: the number of days between your target date and the as-of date of the outline. You can use this to filter out data that are too far in time from your selected date for your application. Best regards, Bruce -- Bruce H.
