Description

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 to 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 a binary image format file.
