File parameters for Alaska AVHRR Composite CIR. Map: Projection Albers Equal-Area Conic First standard parallel 55 00 00 N Second standard parallel 65 00 00 N Longitude of central meridian 154 00 00 W Latitude of origin 50 00 00 N False easting 0 False northing 0 Spheroid parameters: Clarke 1866 Units of measure Meters Cell size 1,000 meters Center of pixel (1,1) ( -997000, 2422000) Number of lines 1,992 Number of samples 2,512 Header file None Header record None Data depth Byte (8 bits) Number of channels 3 (RGB) Data organization BIL Albers meters for minimum bounding rectangle (X, Y): Upper Left (-977500 2422500) Upper Right (1534500 2422500) Lower Left (-977500 430500) Lower Right (1534500 430500) Geographic degrees, minutes, and seconds: Upper Left (179 51' 52" W 70 4' 39" N) Upper Right (115 59' 22" W 67 41' 51" N) Lower Left (168 36' 9" E 52 55' 0" N) Lower Right (131 35' 27" W 51 31' 53" N) Cell values are enhanced reflectance values from the NOAA/AVHRR sensors. The dataset was developed during generation of the Max NDVI image by including the AVHRR bands in the compositing process, thus minimizing the amount of clouds. The red band is an enhancement of AVHRR channel 2 (near IR), the green band is the AVHRR channel 1 (Visible red), and the blue band (visible green) was estimated using the AVHRR channels 1 and 2.
