Lots of data from the US national data centers (NOAA, USGS, NGDC, NEIC) can be used with GMT, and they are all freely available from these centers and individuals via the internet. For Unix/Windows CD-R compilations of several Gb of Earth and Ocean science data, see Geoware's GMT Companion CD-R and DVD-R products.

Because of the size of the data used, and the limited amount of data users download of the total available data, it is unlikely that p2p would make much of a dent in the problem of serving that data.

GMT was created in 1988 by Paul Wessel and Walter H. F. Smith, and has undergone several revisions and major enhancements since then. The current version is 4.2.1. GMT is supported by the National Science Foundation.

of April 2007 it appears that over 15,000 scientists and engineers worldwide are using GMT in their work. This estimate is based on ftp traffic and returned registration forms over the last few years.

The best reference to GMT is an article by Wessel and Smith published in EOS, the transactions of the American Geophysical Union, on Oct 8th 1991 (Wessel, P. and W. H. F. Smith, Free software helps map and display data, EOS Trans. AGU, 72, 441, 1991). We had a news release in EOS that discussed the 3.1 version (Wessel, P. and W. H. F. Smith, New, improved version of the Generic Mapping Tools released, EOS Trans. AGU, 79, 579, 1998).

All documents describing the formats of data available through the CDDIS can be found at URL ftp://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/formats.

rdiff-backup can be limited by the CPU, disk IO, or available bandwidth, and the length of a session can be affected by the amount of data, how much the data changed, and how many files are present. That said, in the typical case the number/size of changed files is relatively small compared to that of unchanged files, and rdiff-backup is often either CPU or bandwidth bound, and takes time proportional to the total number of files.

The California Department of Education, Special Education Division, will develop statewide targets and benchmarks as required by federal law and will use the data to assist in the development of training, technical assistance, and improvement activities.

Spam submitted to SpamCop is used in various ways. However, your personal email address is never revealed beyond the initial report, and the email you provide is not released beyond the initial submission. One exception to this - each spam submission generates a tracking URL, and that URL can be used to view the original headers of the spam. This tracking URL is given to you when you report the spam. It is also included in the spam reports.

Answer - Speed is the primary reason for data over T1. If a company transmits large files regularly outside their office an T1 can be a great asset as well as if they receive large amounts of Data. With the expansion of the internet and the requirement to send data at higher speeds, T-1 technology has been essential for dedicated T-1 lines.

Is there a sanctioned way of retrieving the GFS data 4 times a day? I don't want to use the READY web interface in an automated script. http://www.windguru.cz/ is a good example of what I want to do, but with a subset of data a balloonist would find useful. I have been using the GFS model data to get soundings to assist me in the running of advanced gliding courses in Australia.

Uncatalogued data sets are generally not “visible” to Arbutus Analyzer or LegacyLink™ ad hoc processes. Uncatalogued data sets can be made available by allocating them in the session JCL and accessing them based on a DDNAME.

The rate at which new series (or new years) of statistical data are added to existing data varies. To find this information about a specific data set, follow the instructions in question #3. Most descriptions of data sets include year(s) of available data.

In some cases data sets may be available from your supervisor, but you should not assume that this is the case. We do actively seek research projects with government and industry, and in many cases, data is provided. If there is a company or organization you would like to work with, it is worth approaching them to see if they are amenable to a partnership, where they provide the data, and you provide the analysis and results.

This is different for every QuickAddress data set. Please refer to the Country Data Information section of the relevant Country Information Guide.

This differs for every QuickAddress data set available, see data update frequencies for a complete overview of all update frequencies available. Alternatively, consult the relevant Country Information Guide for more detailed information.

Because of the size of the data used, and the limited amount of data users download of the total available data, it is unlikely that p2p would make much of a dent in the problem of serving that data.

Currently you cannot edit data. If you need to correct a mistake, upload a new version of your file. The reason we don'tallow editing is that changes can make other people's comments an bookmarks obsolete.

Do you have a need for the GMT's features? If so then you should strongly consider it. The GMT omits the Helium Escape Valve, but has the same Water Resistance as the regular Seamaster. Otherwise, go with the one whose looks you prefer. They're both great watches, and you can't go wrong with either one. The best one is the one that makes the most sense for you.

Yes. GMT is written in ANSI C and is POSIX and Y2K compliant. Furthermore, it can read time-series data that are "Y2K-challenged" (i.e., 2-digit years only).

You need a C compiler to compile the package. Your system may already have one installed as cc; otherwise you can get the GNU gcc compiler for free by the good guys at GNU. GMT uses the netCDF library which you must install prior to installing GMT (the install script will do this for you).

No. As distributed, GMT is a command-line oriented package. This was a deliberate decision: A graphical user interface (GUI) would place limits on what can be done; in return it would make the system more user-friendly. We placed the premium on flexibility and performance; our experience has been that the command-line interface allows users to connect GMT modules to other custom programs and arrive at unique results.

Those who are using GIS, in particular Arc/INFO and ArcView, may be interested in arcGMT, a suite of tools for conversion between Arc/INFO and GMT. For multi-beam enthusiasts, there is MB-System, a software package for the processing and display of swath sonar data

Approved WSS sets may be used instead of DOE Directives as contractually binding ES&H standards. When included in the contract, all standards contained in the WSS set are contractually enforceable.

The Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition Series consists of twelve sets - two sets at each grade level (1st-6th grades). The sets are labeled with A or B. The order in which they should be used is 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B. Each set represents a semester. Each set consists of 1 textbook and 1 workbook. The workbook is consumable.

All of the sets utilized in the original series are being re-created to some degree including the addition of some new ones. The following sets are being complete and standing: Full - 360 Degree Bridge, Turbolift, Transporter Room and Briefing Room. Sickbay, Crew’s Quarters, Ship’s corridors, Captain's Office, Rec Room, Gym, Chapel, Admirals office and whatever other needs are Swing Sets constructed as needs arise.
