At December's Imagery Technical Working Group meeting there was discussion about on-going efforts to improve and maintain access to data via cloud-based web services -- pertinent to the Imagery TWG in regards to NAIP data. This news item from the University of Idaho highlights the collaborative partnerships that are on-going between the University of Idaho's INSIDE Idaho (II), Idaho State University's GIS Training and Research Center (ISU TReC), Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Northwest Knowledge Network (NKN) and others. Specific to the Imagery TWG discussions last month, the data center at INL continues to be available to ISU TReC as the primary source for data and the data center at the NKN will be used by ISU TReC in the event of an outage at INL. Discussions are taking place among Universities and INL to improve access to data. Additional updates and news will be distributed through the Imagery TWG or this ListServ as they are made available.

Currently, users can access not only 2013 0.5m NAIP imagery but previous years' imagery as well. In addition, users can access natural color as well as false-color imagery enabled through the NIR collection on recent acquisitions. Still the availability of these services to the GIS community is not broadly known and may not be used as much as possible. We are interested to learn how important aerial imagery is in your job, how much you rely upon NAIP imagery to satisfy those needs, and how useful you view the NAIP services provided for all of Idaho. To let us know your viewpoints please participate in this quick survey (about 2-5 minutes is all that will be needed) Your input will help improve services and contribute toward building a more robust GIS community!
