NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) is a coordinated system of satellites that collect data (e.g., images) of the earth's land surface and oceans, providing an important window into our understanding of earth processes including the biosphere and atmosphere. The handbooks briefly describe the data products available from completed and planned EOS missions. Published in 2000, Volume 2 (6.2 Mb, in .pdf format) covers the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor Satellite (ACRIMSAT), Aqua, Jason-1, Landsat 7, Meteor 3M/Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III), the Quick Scatterometer (QuikScat), the Quick Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (QuikTOMS), and the Vegetation Canopy Lidar (VCL) missions. For scientists interested in accessing satellite data, this handbook will be an excellent reference.
