Hi all,
We have made some improvements in the system for accessing GLIMS data:
- When downloading data from GLIMS, the package now includes (when present
for selected glaciers):
- more data: all "line" types of data, such as snow lines and
center lines; uncertainty values for polygon vertices; information on
base imagery; hypsometry (glacier area-elevation histograms)
- improved documentation on the downloaded files
- bug fixes: downloaded "tar" format file now has ".tgz" extension,
not ".zip"; download ID number in downloaded file now matches that in
unpacked directory (folder); website now works with HTTPS as well as
HTTP.
- Lists of collaborators made more functional (e.g.
http://www.glims.org/maps/collaborators.html)
More improvements are in the works, so stay tuned.
Best regards,
Bruce
