<br><font size="2" face="Arial">Landsat imagery held in the USGS archives
can be searched on the following pages (see below for detailed instructions
on how to use these viewers): </font>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Many scenes are ready for immediate download
from the websites listed above; requests can be placed for processing of
scenes not downloadable, using these same websites. Once requests are placed
and imagery is processed, an email notification is returned with the direct
download location. Processing generally takes 1-3 days. </font>
</p><p><font size="2" face="Arial">Before downloading Landsat data, it is important
to understand that a number of files will be included, and how the individual
band files work together in image processing software to create a final
RGB color image. Please see these pages for more details: </font>

downloaded from USGS EROS, and it can be used or redistributed as desired.
However, a statement of the data source when citing, copying, or reprinting
USGS Landsat data or images is requested. Details can be found on the EROS

Begin by clicking anywhere on the map. Along the left hand side of
the viewer you will be able to enter your location by path/row, latitude/longitude,
or by selecting the location on the map. If you would like to make the
image larger on your screen click on<b> Resolution</b> at the top of the
screen and change it to 240m. You can also browse through different image
collections by clicking <b>Collection</b> at the top of the screen and
choosing from the list (please note that aerial photography is now available
through GloVis). Once you find the image you would like to order/download,
click the <b>Add</b> button on bottom left of the screen and then <b>Download</b>.

With this site you can view our Landsat archives in their entirety. Notice
the 3 tabs at the top of the screen - <b>Search Criteria, Data Sets, Additional
Criteria, </b>and<b> Results</b>. Begin by entering your area of
interest either by address/place, path/row, or coordinates and enter a
date range. Next, click <b>Data Sets</b> to see a list of available products.
Click the plus sign next to the product you are interested in and
put a check mark in the box next to the one you would like to search for.
Next, click the <b>Additional Search Criteria </b>tab if you would
like to narrow your results. Finally, click<b> Results. </b>Your
results will be displayed on the left side of the screen. Notice
the buttons next to each result - with these you can view a footprint of
the area on the map to the right, view a browse overlay on the map, view
the metadata, download the data, or exclude the data from your search results.
Please note - you will need to register on Earth Explorer before
being able to download any data. </font>

have been collected by the USGS International Cooperator (IC) ground stations.

<br>
A group of scientist and mappers in Colombia want to use some of the satelital
imagery at <a href="http://glovis.com" target="_blank">glovis.com</a>, with the porpouse of scientiphic studies to attend
emergencies during floods disasters.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if we can use ALTER, MODIS, Lansat and other sources
for this purpose.<br>
