GLIMS 5June02 meeting minutes

[Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa]

Bruce and SJ met briefly yesterday. We didn't review all the action items 
because no one else was there.  Here's a status:

Bruce has his ingest code working, will ask Cathy to help with a bulk copy 
into the database.
SJ succeeded in getting Hester's data into something that Bruce can work 
with. Turns out some of Hester's glacier polygons were multipart, i.e. they 
had interior polygons for the nunataks. This initially caused Bruce's code 
some grief, but he's rewritten it to ignore all but the first polygon, 
which he verified is always the glacier outline.  We will state in the 
transfer spec that multi-part polygons are not allowed, and if they are 
used only the first polygon will be ingested. This applies only to analyses 
in which entire outlines are sent as polygons, not to analyses broken into 
segments (PolyLine).

The IGARSS paper is to be delivered two weeks from next Wed., a mighty 
short time. I will be out most of the week preceding IGARSS; I'll be at the 
SEEDS workshop Mon - Wed.

I hope to circulate an outline of the talk to the group today.

I'm anxious to hear from Ross on progess on making the interface 
"pretty."  Hopefully, there will be data in it soon so we can exercise it.
