HowTo dwnld wetmask

Here is how to access the wetlands mask:

 As of Sept 2010, ORNL has re-arranged their site.  
 Now only final data products appear in this data catalog.
 The below will NOT work until I find the new URL.

1. go to the LBA DAAC
   • http://daac.ornl.gov/LBA/lba.shtml
2. in the search box in the middle of the page,
   • enter (no quotes) melack basinwide mask
   • (and click "search")
3. on the search results page, it will show
   • "lba-eco lc-07 basinwide amazon wetlands 100m mask based on jers sar images (v.apr08)" inside a yellow bar.
   • Below that and to the right, in a grey box, click on "View full metadata"
4. this page shows all the information about this wetland mask.
   • Keep a copy of that page.
5. On this page is the link to the data,
   • in the section "Download Data Sets" beside the yellow "IMPORTANT" box.
   • Just below that box you see two URLs from which you can download the mask.
   • The same April 2008 version of the mask is at both of those URLs.
   • If you need technical assistance with the ftp or the browser downloads from those URLs, email gastil@lifesci.ucsb.edu.
6. Also please see the "Data Set User's Guide" just below the data download link.
