request to NDADS for data. As a nearline system, NDADS then processes data
requests in a "batch" mode to stage requested files to an anonymous
FTP area. At the user's discretion and with appropriate account information,
NDADS can also place the data on the user's machine. NDADS sends e-mail
notification when files have been staged. All data may also be requested
from NDADS via its Automated Retrieval by [Electronic] Mail System (ARMS).

- Project Horizon
This project has four aspects: (1) the development of a scientific data
server that integrates data in many formats and can handle very large images
and data sets; (2) extension of MOSAIC to simplify the viewing of data,
enable communication with other applications, and to support additional
functionality; (3) application of the scientific data server software to
two public access servers: the Daily Planet (//www.atmos.uiuc.edu) and
a space and astronomy server; and (4) research and development on scalable
servers and information systems to address the problems of locating items
of interest in the enormous mass of image data from NASA and other archives.
- Advanced Image Compression
"Compression and Progressive Transmission of Digital Images".
Ftp: stsci.edu:software/hcompress (static version of compression scheme)
An image transmission system will be developed that sends images incrementally,
allowing the user to reconstruct, view, and optionally reject an image
as it arrives rather than waiting for the whole image. This will be a particularly
important capability for general public and educational access to digital
images through low-bandwidth connections to the Internet. The effect of
the process is to remove noise from the image until late in the transmission.
High contrast areas are sent first. After about 1% - 1.5% of the image
has been transmitted, the image appears very close to the original. Transmission
continues, if not interrupted, to a complete, lossless copy of the original.

The Thermosphere * Ionosphere * Mesosphere * Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED)
Program is the first science mission in the Solar Connections Program,

TIMED will explore the Earth's Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (60-180
kilometers), the least explored and least understood region of our atmosphere.
It is known that the global structure of this region can be perturbed during
stratospheric warmings and solar-terrestrial events, but the overall structure
and dynamics responses of these effects are not understood. Advances in
remote sensing technology employed by TIMED instrumentation enable us to
explore this region on a global basis from space.
