The data were collected by the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor onboard the TERRA satellite platform and released by the MODIS science team as an image showing percent canopy cover. This information was then reclassified so that all pixels with a percent canopy cover greater than 40% (40% after the 1973 UNESCO standard) were classified as forest (a value of 1), and all other pixels were classified as non-forest (a value of 2). Water features were given a value of 3. This data has a pixel resolution of 500 meters and is unprojected with the WGS-1984 datum (Hansen et al. 2006). There is one GeoTIFF data file for this data set. PY - 2011 PB - ORNL Distributed Active Archive Center LA - en ER -
