Data Set "DSP01_TM_LANDCOVER"

Revised: December 8, 2000


BOREAS Follow-on DSP-1 TM Land Cover Mosaic of the BOREAS Transect

The objective of this land cover mosaic is to provide a data product that
characterises the detailed land cover of a significant portion of the BOREAS
Region. Seven Landsat-5 TM images have been assembled that completely cover the
BOREAS Transect. Entire TM scenes were used to create this land cover map. A
detailed classification scheme was employed; permitting the extraction of
virtually all land cover information that can be discerned from digitally
enhanced TM images. The data are provided in binary image format files,
compressed into Zip archive files.
