The title contains the map name and the digital file name (e.g. 093F_lc_1). The filename consists of a map sheet identifier_producttype_version. A "lc" product type refers to land cover. Online_Linkage: http://eosd.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/index_e.html Description: Abstract: A priority of the Canadian Forest Service and Canadian Space Agency joint project, Earth Observation for Sustainable Development of Forests (EOSD) is the production of a land cover map of the forested area of Canada. The land cover map will be based on Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) data and represent circa year 2000 conditions. Land cover will be produced through a partnership of federal, provincial, and territorial governments, universities and industry. Products generated will follow the 1:250,000 National Topographic Series Map Sheet tiles and naming convention. The land cover products are expected to be completed by early 2006. Purpose: Land Cover Mapping of Canada Supplemental_Information: Minimal Mapping Unit (MMU) is 1 hectare.
