Others

• From Chris Potter: A new set of regional map files for use in LBA Ecology are available now for anonymous ftp from the pub directory on our server called geo.arc.nasa.gov. This is the first set of map files that we have released for wider usage...others will follow soon. This NASA-CASA data set (version 06.16.98) for LBA Ecology includes regional maps for soil texture, water holding capacity, soil carbon, soil pH, and predicted annual NPP.
  To obtain map files for the LBA region, log-on to the NASA Ames server named above and go to the directory called 'pub/ame' . Along with the data files, there is a documentation text file in this directory called 'readme.ame' that you'll need to transfer also in order to see the pertinent information (formats, references, methods, etc.) on the available map files.
