Subject:      Geo Names

   Greetings everyone. Would anyone know the phone number, address,
etc. of the Board of Geographic Names? And along the same lines, would
anyone have any suggestions as to the best source for the most current
listing of existing countries of the world? Does anyone know how a
country is actually defined? For example, some of these people who own
small islands in various locations claim to be countries. Who or what
is in charge that determines if a country is really a country??
   Thanks for any help. Please reply directly...

Create an atool directory wherever you want to. create arc, ap etc directories

I have worked with some State programs who used RF3 in the ARCINFO
format.  Although they told me of the alterations they perform
I do not recall them due to my lack of experience with ARCINFO.
If interested contact me and I'll talk things through and/or
establish contact with those who have worked with RF3 in ARCINFO.
I do not believe they use BITNET/INTERNET type mail?

Ken,

1. What are your applications?
2. What accuracy are you interested? (2-5 meter, 30-100 m, 1-2 cm, etc)

We have experimented with Trimble Pathfinder Community Base Station with
a Basic + and have had very good results. If someone in your area has a base
station you may not want one. Check with EPA, Coast Guard, Forest Service,
BLM, etc. if you are interested.

SNOW COVER MAPPING AT NOHRSC

  Many new images of the US and Canada are available 
via anonymous ftp from snow.nohrsc.nws.gov.  When
we collect an overpass from NOAA-11, we first make
a 4x4 reduction of band 1 of the entire pass.  If 
any of our 26 1000x1000 km mapping windows are 
relatively cloud-free, we extract bands 1-4 at 
full 1100 m resolution, calibrate it to %albedo
and temperature and register it to Albers projection.
At this point, a JPEG image is made of bands 1, 3 & 4
contrast normalized and taken as RG&B in a false-color
composite.  This image is posted to pub/jpg on 
snow.nohrsc.nws.gov.  
  If the snowline is clearly visible, the image not 
too cloudy and the registration within a few pixels, 
and we haven't mapped it recently, then we map
snow cover.  Each image is nudged a few pixels if
necessary to align it to a master image and has a 
cosine correction applied band 1 to account for sunangle. 
In windows over the Rockies and in Alaska, the slope
and aspect of each pixel is figured into the solar
normalization.  
  The difference of bands 3 and 4 is computed and converted 
to byte and compared to normalized band 1 to make a 
scatter diagram.  From this, we derive the parameters
we use to perform the classification into SNOW, LAND and 
CLOUD.  
  This image, when run thru a GIS, is further subdivided 
into elevation zones, and the percent area of each type
in each zone is calculated, formatted into a SHEF message
and sent to users around the country via AFOS.  The class-
ified image is converted to GIF and put in the BBS.
Users can access the data either by modem to (612) 725-3230
(1200/2400/9600/19200) or via the Internet to 
snow.nohrsc.nws.gov in pub/bbs.  Notes on the process, FAQs 
and viewing utilities are also available.  Users without 
ftp access should inquire about BITFTP, receiving uuencoded 
data by email.

  A tip of the hat to Ilana Stern and her sources.met.FAQ.
It's better than advertising in the Yellow Pages!

Subject:      slight problem`

        First off, let me do some introducing of myself, then, of course, I
am going to have to badger you ARC/INFO experts for help (if there is a better
place to be to badger ARC/INFO'ers, let me know).  Well, the question
actually is pretty general, so I guess this is the place to ask it...

So.  Name:  Robert Guralnick
     Organization:  UC Berkeley Museum of Paleontology
     Title:  Systems Administrator (jack of all trades maybe a better
     description)

I have been slowly and painful learning the GIS ARC/INFO, which we have
installed locally.  I am now slightly proficient at some things, but it
is a shallow knowledge.  I have been mesing around with the public domain
DLG's available through spectrum.xerox.com, and have been trying to use
ARC/INFO data conversion software on release 6.0.1 to convert them once
I ftp the site and get the DLG's I need.  Howevr, when I go to do the
conversion, I get something like: Premature E-O-F in file, terminating.
Seems that the ARC/INFO conversion program sees an E-O-F somewhere in
the file, but I am no expert on the construction of DLG's or the conversion
algorithims.  Anyway, if anyone has ideas, let me know... I have tried
lots of stuff... like picking up optional format instead of standard and
trying the ftp in ascii instead of binary...

Many thanks in advance!

from Digital Chart of the World (VPF) to files, usable with ATLAS*GIS?
(I think transferring from VPF to other file formats is a quite common
task, somewhere should exist such export/import programs - hopefully!)

Tanks in advance

Has EPA-RF3 been made available for all areas?  Last I checked (approx
two weeks ago) RF3 was not yet available (at least for Tennessee).  I was
told that the problems with the first version of RF3 were still being
corrected and that it was not being released until those workingon RF3 were
satisfied that it was ready for release.  We are very much interested in
using RF3 for a number of projects and have been awaiting its completion
literally for YEARS.  Any accurate information on its availability would
be greatly appreciated.

  If the NET is opened up more as may well be the case, I would think
that more of "the chaff" will be forthcoming. I delete a lot anyway.

At the risk of being left out, can I have a copy of the 
Spatial Temporal Bibliography too?

I'm working about land suitability of some area of South Italy. I would
know someone that has already work about this problem. I'm using Arc/Info
to solve the problem of implementation of the G.I.S.

Hi,

I need to find out more about TIGER files, formats, contents, etc.  Can
anyone help me with this?  Please e-mail me directly.

    I think you can do better than the global average ELR for your
study area.  In the Sierra Nevada, Jack Major from UC Davis used
climate data from the existing stations to calculate temperature
lapse rates along various E-W transects.  He generally found a
temperature decrease of about 0.5 deg. C / 100m.  If you can get
the existing temperature records for your area (e.g. off the
World Weather CD-ROM or other digital source), it would be easy
to calculate average temperature lapse rates for your areas in Utah.
