Resource Abstract:
- description: These data can be used in a geographic information system (GIS) for any number of purposes such as assessing
wildlife habitat, water quality, pesticide runoff, land use change, etc. The State data sets are provided with a 300 meter
buffer beyond the State border to facilitate combining the State files into larger regions. The user must have a firm understanding
of how the datasets were compiled and the resulting limitations of these data. The National Land Cover Dataset was compiled
from Landsat satellite TM imagery (circa 1992) with a spatial resolution of 30 meters and supplemented by various ancillary
data (where available). The analysis and interpretation of the satellite imagery was conducted using very large, sometimes
multi-state image mosaics (i.e. up to 18 Landsat scenes). Using a relatively small number of aerial photographs for 'ground
truth', the thematic interpretations were necessarily conducted from a spatially-broad perspective. Furthermore, the
accuracy assessments (see below) correspond to 'federal regions' which are groupings of contiguous States. Thus,
the reliability of the data is greatest at the State or multi-State level. The statistical accuracy of the data is known only
for the region.; abstract: These data can be used in a geographic information system (GIS) for any number of purposes such
