6/16/2009 - Peter and Karl meet re acquiring and projecting Sierra Nevada Data
Version 5 data seems to be complete (ie 2000 to 2009) on LPDAAC datapools (an ftp)
Data Size is 3 to 6 MB per granule. For Sierra, 3 granules, 9 years, 365 days = 30 to 60 GB
Projected data is similar in size so total disk space = 60 and 120 GB
Steps are 1) Catalog 2) Acquire 3) Project
Current problem with search for projection - Peter is debugging.
