ASF Opens New Forum Online

by Chris Wyatt

ASF has unveiled a new open forum service. The user community and ASF staff can now interact with each other online about technical topics related to ASF data, ASF software tools, SAR applications and other issues. The forum features two posting areas—Support and Discussion.

The Support forum brings together questions and answers, helping users get the most out of their ASF data products. Users can post and answer questions relating to such topics as software tool installation, software tool use, and data product specifications; as well as feedback about integrating ASF data and non-ASF software.

In the Discussion forum, users are encouraged to submit more generalized topics associated with ASF and remote sensing, e.g., SAR theory, SAR applications, future missions, or even Alaska trivia! As the knowledge base held in the forum grows, the frequently asked questions (FAQ) area will include sections addressing the most common issues encountered by users.

ASF invites everyone to take advantage of this new service, hoping you will contribute generously of your knowledge and experience from incorporating SAR data into your research and operations.

Registration is required prior to posting information to the forum, and instructions are found under the registration icon on the main page. The URL for the site is https://forum.asf.alaska.edu/.
