Copy the lines above, paste them in an email message, fill in the fields, and email to winsar@unavco.org Also include a short description of your experience with InSAR research, what is your intended use of WInSAR data, and who else, if anyone, will be using it. This is needed due to the nature of WInSAR's data agreements with flight agencies who provide the data. This information will only be seen by the WInSAR Executive Committee and will not be provided to anyone else.

When the Executive Committee approves your application, agree to the European Space Agencies Terms and Conditions for the use of ESA data, by downloading a copy of the ESA Data Use Agreement, signing the bottom of the first page, and mailing or faxing the signed first page to the address on the form. Applicants from outside North America need not submit the ESA agreement.

UNAVCO staff will notify you when your application is approved.

All WInSAR Institutional Representatives automatically become Data Users and need not apply for Data User.

Applicants from outside North America need not submit the ESA agreement.

Third, copy the lines below, paste them in an email message, fill in the fields, and email to winsar@unavco.org

Reason for affiliating with the WInSAR Consortium

Regional Membership Categories

According to WINSAR policy there are three classes of WInSAR data institutions: full access (U.S. Institutions); adjunct 1 (North American institutions outside of the U.S.), and adjunct 2 (remainder of world). These distinctions are required by our data agreements with the flight agencies, not by WInSAR alone. Full access members have access to all data in the UNAVCO WInSAR archive, and the ability to request UNAVCO to order new SAR data for you, to add to the archive. For how to order data, see http://winsar.unavco.org/help.php. Adjunct 1 memberships have access to all data in the UNAVCO WInSAR archive. Adjunct 2 memberships have access to ALOS data from the ancillary data page http://winsar.unavco.org/ancillary.php.

New or revised categories may be required as WInSAR changes its data agreements.
