Abstract:
These files are three-band false colour infrared composites, consisting of the green visible band shown in blue, the red visible band shown in green and the nearest infrared band shown in red. This results in an image where healthy summer deciduous vegetation appears in shades of red. Deep clear water appears almost black, sediment loaded water appears as bright turquoise. Very recent forest cutovers and infrastructure (bare soil) appear almost white. The LANDSAT-5 Thematic Mapper data was originally mosaicked together into large files that covered each of the UTM grid zones in the province. Each image was individually enhanced. No attempt was made to tone match it with adjacent images. These mosaics were then cut into smaller pieces for distribution. The LANDSAT-7 images are each a complete frame. They have not been mosaicked. They have been individually enhanced.
Purpose:
This digital data set is useful as a general base map on which you can plot your own features of interest.

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
False Colour Infrared Composite is made up of three-bands, consisting of the green visible band shown in blue, the red visible band shown in green and the nearest infrared band shown in red. This results in an image where healthy summer deciduous vegetation appears in shades of red. Deep clear water appears almost black, sediment loaded water appears as bright turquoise. Very recent forest cutovers and infrastructure (bare soil) appear almost white. The resolution is 30 meters.

Fused True Colour composite is made up of the panchromatic band fused with each of bands. The red band shown in red, the green band shown in green and the blue band shown in blue. This produces a normal colour composite. Vegetation is green. The resolution is simulated 15 meters.
