Dear OpenTopography community,
As is the tradition, OpenTopography will be active at the upcoming American Geophysical Union fall meeting, December 5-9, 2011 in San Francisco. As we've done in the past, we'll have a booth in the exhibit hall and several scientific presentations that highlight the OpenTopography system and related research and development work.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of two new lidar point cloud datasets. Both datasets can be accessed via the OpenTopography "Find Data" interface.
Andrews Experimental Forest and Willamette National Forest LiDAR (Aug 2008):
A revised set of data products for the Lake Tahoe Basin lidar dataset are now available via OpenTopography. This updated release addresses specific issues related to lake level elevation in the hyro-enforced bare earth surface model. Specifically, the data vendor, Watershed Sciences, reprocessed the hydro-enforced surface so that "all lakes were lowered to the lowest identified shoreline elevation to ensure a constant elevation equal to the shoreline elevation.
UPDATE Sept 9, 12 pm: All OpenTopography systems should now be up. The visualization server may be intermittently unavailable due to residual networking issues caused by the Southern California power outage.
OpenTopography will be intermittently unavailable starting at 12 pm Pacific time on Thursday, September 8th, 2011. We will be physically relocating OpenTopography servers to a new rack location in the San Diego Supercomputer Center machine room. We anticipate certain components of OpenTopography to be unavailable during this migration and expect the outage to last several hours on Thursday afternoon.
UPDATE: The OpenTopography outage caused by loss of power on the UCSD campus has been resolved. Thanks for your patience.
On account of an unplanned power outage at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, certain OpenTopography services are down as of 4:45 pm Pacific on Friday August 5th. We are monitoring the situation and will restore OpenTopography services once power has been restored. Thank you for your patience.
