<p>We have taken the Uso del Suelo y Vegetacion land cover classification products for Mexico (courtesy of Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Geografia, or INEGI) for years 1985, 1993, 2002, 2007, and 2011 (INEGI, 2015); harmonized their classes with the classes of the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC) National Land Cover Database (NLCD) (Homer et al., 2015), and merged the two datasets to form a single land cover product covering the continental US and Mexico, for years 1992/3, 2001/2, and 2011. Details of processing, along with the processing scripts, are archived in GitHub in the <a href="https://github.com/tbohn/NLCD_INEGI/tree/v1.5">NLCD_INEGI</a> project (Bohn, 2019).</p>
<p>Output files are ESRI ascii-format raster files, geographic projection, 0.000350884 degree cellsize. Each file contains a 1x1 degree box or "tile", named nlcd_inegi.<em>lat0</em>_<em>lat1</em>n.<em>lon0</em>_<em>lon1</em>w.asc, where <em>lat0</em> and <em>lat1</em> are the south and north boundaries of the box and <em>lon0</em> and <em>lon1</em> are the west and east boundaries (west = positive).</p>
<p>This project contains the following g-zipped tar files:</p>
<ul>
<li>1992.tgz - land cover from 1992 (NLCD) and 1993 (INEGI)</li>
<li>2001.tgz - land cover from 2001 (NLCD) and 2002 (INEGI)</li>
<li>2011.tgz - land cover from 2011 (both NLCD and INEGI)</li>
<li>stable_2001-2011.tgz - land cover from those pixels that had the same class in 2001 and 2011 ("stable" pixels)</li>
</ul>
<p>On LINUX, the contents of these files can be extracted via "tar":</p>
<p>tar -xvzf 1992.tgz >& log.tar.txt</p>
<p>On Windows, applications such as "7-zip" can extract the contents.</p>
<p>Each of these .tgz files contain a folder with the same name but without the ".tgz". Within each of these folders is a sub-folder called "asc.clip.1deg". This folder contains the 1x1 tiles.</p>
