Description

A Landsat-5 TM image from 06-Aug-1990 was used to derive this classification. The objective of this classification is to provide the BOREAS investigators with a data product that characterizes the land cover of the SSA. A standard supervised maximum likelihood approach was used to produce this classification. Companion files include example thumbnail images that may be viewed using a convenient viewer utility.
