Description

All layers are visible and downloadable in this linked webgis app along with estimated error. 

The layers available in this dataset are in a WGS84 geographic coordinate reference system  (EPSG:4326) where latitude and longitude coordinates at 0.0008983 degrees ground sampling distance per cell, which corresponds to about 1 ha, i.e. ~100 m x ~100 m at the equator, but decreases in area with increasing latitude as the coordinate system is not equal-area, e.g. ~70 m west-est direction at 45° latitude and ~50 m west-est direction at  60° latitude.

  • canopyBulkDensity.tif -  Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) - amount of canopy biomass per volume of canopy (kg/m3)
  • canopyBulkDensityRMSE.tif -  Estimated root mean square of errors for CBD (kg/m3)
  • canopyBaseHeight.tif - Canopy Base Height (CBH) - height of  canopy start measured from the ground (m) 
  • canopyBaseHeightRMSE.tif - Estimated root mean square of errors for CBH (m)
