It is worth mentioning that the difference (or uncertainty) varies with the coverage <strong>of</strong><br />

selected area. The differences are relative small at the homogenous or semi-homogenous<br />

area, <strong>and</strong> large at the non-homogenous areas. Based on this analysis, it is reasonable to<br />

conclude that the impacts on most <strong>of</strong> science products caused by spatial mis-registration<br />

are concentrated in the non-homogenous areas or mixed areas.<br />
