For any who have Web access but don't have a plug-in to read PDF
files directly, Adobe has a Web form that will convert an online PDF
file to HTML (and an e-mail submission tool as well):
http://access.adobe.com/simple_form.html
All you do is put in the URL of the PDF file, in this case:
http://see.msfc.nasadot gov/see/2001_city_visibility.pdf
It does not keep a nice layout but does at least provide the content.
(Perhaps permission could be gained to host a non-PDF version?)
There's a French-language version of the PDF-to-HTML form also.
The 30 USA cities in the document are: Albuquerque, NM; Anchorage,
AK; Atlanta, GA; Bangor, ME; Billings, MT; Boise, ID; Boston, MA;
Chicago, IL; Cleveland, OH; Denver, CO; Detroit, MI; Honolulu, HI;
Houston, TX; Las Vegas, NV; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; Minneapolis,
MN; New Orleans, LA; New York, NY (Central Park); Omaha, NE;
Philadelphia, PA; Phoenix, AZ; Portland, OR; Raleigh, NC; Sacramento,
CA; St. Louis, MO; Salt Lake City, UT; Seattle, WA; Washington, D.C.;
Wichita, KS
To everyone -- clear, dark skies filled with Leonids!
