This book provides information on the Earth science remote sensing
data information and data format such as HDF-EOS. It evaluates the
current data processing approaches and introduces data searching
and ordering from different public domains. It further explores the
remote sensing and GIS migration products and WebGIS applications.
Both volumes are designed to give an introduction to current and
future NASA, NOAA and other Earth science remote sensing.

Earth science satellite remote sensing has been rapidly
expanding during the last decade. Volume 2 of this two volume
monograph provides information on the Earth science remote sensing
data information and data format such as HDF-EOS, and tools. It
evaluates the current data processing approaches and introduces
data searching and ordering from different public domains. Further
it explores the remote sensing and GIS migration products and
WebGIS applications. The core of this book arose from the workshop
for Earth Science Satellite Remote Sensing held at George Mason
University (GMU) in October 2002. Both volumes are designed to give
scientists and graduate students with limited remote sensing
background a thorough introduction to current and future NASA, NOAA
and other Earth science remote sensing.
Satellite remote sensing for Earth science data has been rapidly
expanding during the last decade. Volume 1 of this two volume
monograph covers missions/sensors, such as Sea-viewing Wide
Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission
(TRMM), Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), Atmospheric
Infrared Sounder (AIRS), and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit
(AMSU). It also discusses the NPOESS and NPP missions. Emphasis was
placed on the recently launched Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board of both Terra and Aqua. Some key
MODIS science team members were invited to contribute several
chapters. The core of this monograph arose from the workshop for
Earth Science Satellite Remote Sensing held at George Mason

and other Earth science remote sensing missions.
By the mid-1950s, New York had been the unrivaled capital of
America’s national pastime for a century, a place where baseball
was followed with truly fanatical fervor. The city’s three
teams—the New York Yankees, the New York Giants, and the Brooklyn
Dodgers—had over the previous decade rewarded their fans’
devotion with stellar performances: from 1947 to 1957, one or more
of these teams had played in the World Series every year but one.
Yet on opening day 1958, the Giants and the Dodgers were gone.
Their owners, Walter O’Malley and Horace Stoneham, had ripped
them away from their longtime home and from the hearts of millions
of devoted and passionate fans and taken the teams to California.
How did it happen? Who was to blame? The relocation of the Giants
and the Dodgers, an event that transcended sports and altered the
landscape of New York City, has never been addressed with the
depth, detail, and insight offered here by Robert E. Murphy. As
informed as it is entertaining, After Many a Summer is rich in
baseball lore, civic history, and the wheeling and dealing,
alliances and betrayals, and sharp-elbowed machinations of big-city
business and politics.
This volume presents a set of lessons learned from Australia's
Collins submarine program that could help inform future program
managers. Collins was the first submarine built in Australia. RAND
investigated how operational requirements were set for the Collins
class; explored the acquisition, contracting, design, and build
processes that the program employed; and assessed the activities
surrounding integrated logistics support for the class.
The United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia asked the RAND
Corporation to develop a set of lessons learned from previous
submarine programs that could help inform future program managers.
This volume presents an overview of five submarine programs in the
three countries - the UK's Astute program; the U.S. Navy's Ohio,
Seawolf, and Virginia programs; and Australia's Collins program -
and identifies lessons that apply to all of them.
This volume presents a set of lessons learned from the United
Kingdom's Astute submarine program that could help inform future
program managers. Designing and building a submarine requires
careful management and oversight and a delegation of roles and
responsibilities that recognizes which party - the shipbuilder or
the government - is best positioned to manage risks.
