Originator: The Nature Conservancy Publication_Date: 1996 Title: 1974 TENSAS BASIN FLOOD FROM MSS IMAGERY Description: TNC used ERDAS to classify Landsat MSS data chosen for a date with high stream flows and high precipitation. Thanks to Gyle Bye of USGS and Sue Vullo of LA DEQ for finding this information. Purpose: For predicting flood-prone lands. Flood-prone lands are potential forest restoration areas. Calendar_Date: 31 January 1974 Theme_Keyword: Flooding, Satellite Imagery Place_Keyword: Lower Mississippi Valley, Tensas Basin Use_Constraints: This classified imagery is from a single date in time and perhaps not representative of flood-prone lands. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data on any system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. This disclaimer applies to both individual use of data and aggregate use with other data. Lineage: Originator: EOSAT Data_Set_Credit: The three images were classified by Mark Swan, TNC. Security_Classification_System: None Security_Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Security_Handling_Description: None Native_Data_Set_Environment: UNIX stations at DNR GIS Lab Exported to TIF format by Microimages TNTmips on a 604 PowerPC.
