Percent Urban Cover, Africa
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
New-ID: NBI45 Percent Urban Cover for Africa.
Description
Revised FNOC Percent Urban Cover Dataset Documentation File: AFURBAN.IMG Code: 100082-004 Raster Member The IMG file is in IDRISI format The Percent Urban Cover dataset is part of the revised FNOC elevation, terrain and surface characteritics. It formed part of the NOAA project that was developed by the World Data Center-A (WDC-A) for Solid Earth Geophysics, operated by the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC).
The dataset is part of the World Data Bank II provided on a diskette called The Global Change Data Base. The Data Bank II is part of larger project called Global Ecosystems Database Project. This is a cooperation between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NGDC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The National Center for Geographic Information and Analyses (NCGIA) in Santa Barbara, California joined the project to assist with training and evaluation. A scale was chosen that corresponds closely with the resolution of global AVHRR coverage was to provide compatibility with other scales. All data are provided in geographic (longitude/latitude) projection.
The dataset is accompanied by an ASCII documentation file which contains information necessary for use of the dataset in a GIS or other software.
