- Statement
- Data were processed and consolidated from some 1,376 NASA-SWBD tiled ESRI 3d-Shapefile datasets into a single and topologically consistent ESRI coverage format based on 0.000006 processing. Data originall derived from nominal 28.5m LandSat data and raster "stepping" artifacts are evident.
