Resource Abstract:
- description: The Paterson, New Jersey EnviroAtlas Meter-Scale Urban Land Cover (MULC) data comprises approximately 66 km2
around the city of Paterson. The land cover data were generated from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National
Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) four band (red, green, blue, and near infrared) aerial photography at 1 m pixel size.
Imagery was collected in July 2010. Five land cover classes were mapped: water, impervious surfaces, soil and barren land,
trees and forest, and grass and herbaceous non-woody vegetation. An accuracy assessment of 500 completely random and 64 stratified
random reference points yielded an overall user's accuracy (MAX) of 86.9% and an overall fuzzy user's accuracy (RIGHT)
of 92.5%. For more information on our accuracy assessment see the overview section. This dataset was produced by the US EPA
to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows
the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for
the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas)
or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in
its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).; abstract: The Paterson,
