Sol Open Topography Walk Through

To test out the Opal2 Web Service I did a simple walk through from the OpenTopography steps: 

• Go to OpenTopography.org 

• Log into the MyOpenTopo tab on the top left if you have a Username set up:

  Open

• After the job is done processing you'll see the Job Report:

  Open

• The data are available at: http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/result?id=rt1457020525469

• And Metadata about your job are available at: http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/result?id=rt1457020525469&metadata=1

• These data will remain available for about 7 days - after which you can re-process the job at any time using the metadata tag.

• To test the Opal2 service I copied the URL to the SRTM results (not the TauDEM - this file is split into two tiffs)

• Next, I insert the URL into the Opal2 service provided box for Input DEM URL:

  Open

  

• The Web browser is designed to unpack the *.tar.gz file and begin running the Sol program.

• After you submit the process you should see something like this:
