Instructions
First
select a geographic area of interest from the "Selection Location"
drop box. If a more specific search area is required, then
use either the Earthscape II
interface to draw a bounding box on a map, or enter the coordinates
manually.
Next,
select the keywords that you wish to use from the list. Please
note that some searches may produce too many returns, while
conversely others may result in too few. Keywords can be combined
in a single search by holding the Control button down while
selecting the keywords. This may aid in narrowing the number
of returns. Searches can also be restricted according to time
period.
The results
of the search are a list of databases that match the selected
criteria. The databases are listed by title, shown in decreasing
likelihood of importance, with Canadian databases shown first.
Each return
has a detailed description of a particular database. The descriptions
can be used to see if the database contains information relevant
to your needs. The descriptions also contain contact information,
and may have information about how to order individual data
products. Some databases allow for searching through the Internet,
and provide the ability to search down to individual data
products.
