Hi Jim, The Amazon data are now on the ftp site. Please check ftp ftp.lifesci.ucla.edu login: bzutta password: 1peruano go to the directory: LBA_products. I left the biomass map in Geotiff and also the veg class map. Biomass map has 11 classes: 1: 0-25 Mg/ha 2: 25-50 3: 50-75 4: 75:100 5: 100-150 6: 150-200 7: 200-250 8: 250-300 9: 300-350 10: 350-400 11: >400 Let me know if you need more information. We got Jim Tiucker excited about Nicole's abstract. He is going to give us 2003-2005 data hot from his Goddard Oven. cheers Sassan On Sep 8, 2006, at 8:26 AM, Jim Randerson wrote: Hi Sassan, I'm writing to ask if I could please have a copy of your Amazon biomass dataset. Can I ftp it from JPL? - or should I set up an account for you on one of my computers here to transfer it? I'd like to use it to compare with global model outputs from NCAR. Also, I like the idea of comparing the NDVI with the freeze thaw. It sounds like the trends that Nicole described in her abstract are getting stronger! Cheers, Jim At 10:15 AM 9/7/2006, you wrote: Hi Nicole, Sorry for this delay. I was rushing from one meeting to another yesterday. Jim and I talked about the abstract and he agreed to be included was happy to contribute. He is going to give us the newly processed GIMMS NDVI data including 2005 for our study. He is copied on this email. cheers Sassan On Sep 6, 2006, at 12:36 PM, Nicole Smith Downey wrote: Hi Sassan- Sorry to bother you again, do you have Jim Tucker's e-mail address?
