The Canadian Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) presents several landcover maps over the SGP CART site area (32-40N, 92-102W) derived from satellite data including AVHRR, MODIS, SPOT vegetation data, and Landsat satellite TM imagery.

During the ARM IRF workshop (2003), the Canadian Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) presented several landcover maps over the SGP CART site area (32-40N, 92-102W) derived from satellite data. The CCRS, which used these landcover products to produce an albedo product, has made them available to the ARM community.
