Abstract

These datasets are a subset of the mosaic of Australian Landsat MSS images of Australia. ldsatmss.bil is a 500m pixel Lambert Conformal Conic projected dataset. ldsatmssdd.bil is a 0.0048 degree geographic projected dataset. NOTE The original image is located in the corporate storage system at /d/geo/store/data/image/landsat_mss/aus_mosaic. In this directory there is extensive documentation (OVERVIEW.TXT) which describes all contents.

Lineage

GEOIMAGE has produced a geocoded mosaic of 4 band LANDSAT MSS data over Australia at a pixel resolution of 100 metres. Scenes were selected within a time period of a few months in the local dormant season so that major changes in vegetation do not occur across the imagery. The data is approximately 1992-93. Joins are usually not visible although this is not always possible especially where vegetation has changed markedly and in water areas. The datasets were reprojected into the AGSO national standard, and sub-sampled to a 500m pixel size.
