Dear all,<div><br></div><div>Here is an encouraging word from somebody who is validating GDEM2; he is about as capable an evaluator is you will find anywhere, so his encouragement is notable. He says:</div><div><br></div><div>"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); line-height: 17px; ">GDEM2 looks a lot better than GDEM1 — higher resolution and far, far fewer glitches. ... ... GDEM2 is a great improvement over GDEM1." He notes some remaining issues where clouds contaminated the results, so wariness will still be warranted.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); line-height: 17px; "><br></span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2A2A2A" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">GDEM2 may be available possibly in about 6 weeks. So if you are using GDEM1, or gave up using it, please keep GDEM2 in mind.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2A2A2A" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2A2A2A" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">--Jeff</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2A2A2A" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; line-height: normal; "> </span></span></font></div> </div></body>
