HipHop Handy IDL-Program for HDF-Output Plotting

HipHop is a graphical user interface (GUI) based IDL program that largely facilitates the visualisation and analysis of 2D and 3D earth science data, in particular atmospheric tracer distributions and meteorological fields.

RAT (Radar Tools)

RAT is a small collection of tools for processing SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remote sensing data, packed together in a nice graphical user interface.

Hubble Space Telescop Site
Public pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope, many of them processed with IDL.

Wayne Landsman's IDL Astronomy Library
This library is a collection of user-written IDL modules useful to astronomers. Its organization and maintenance is funded by NASA.

JPL AVIRIS Home Page
AVIRIS is an acronym for the Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer. AVIRIS is a world class instrument in the realm of Earth Remote Sensing. It is a unique optical sensor that delivers calibrated images of the upwelling spectral radiance in 224 contiguous spectral channels (also called bands) with wavelengths from 400 to 2500 nanometers (nm). The instrument flies aboard a NASA ER-2 airplane (a U2 plane modified for increased performance) at approximately 20 km above sea level, at about 730 km/hr. AVIRIS has flown all across the US, plus Canada and Europe.

The science objectives of the AVIRIS project are broad. In a nutshell, the main objective is to identify, measure, and monitor constituents of the Earth's surface and atmosphere based on molecular absorption and particle scattering signatures. Research with AVIRIS is dominantly directed towards understanding processes related to the global environment and climate change.
