ically corrected; however, files of relative X and Y coordinates for each image pixel were derived by using the C-130 INS data
in a MAS scan model. The data are provided in binary image format files.

The BOREAS Staff Science effort covered those activities that were BOREAS community-level activities or required uniform
data collection procedures across sites and time. These activities included the acquisition, processing, and archiving of aircraft
navigation/attitude data to complement the digital image data. The level-0 ER-2 navigation data files contain aircraft attitude
and position information acquired during the digital image and photographic data collection missions. Temporally, the data were
acquired from April to September 1994. Data were recorded at intervals of 5 seconds. The data are stored in tabular ASCII files.

The BOREAS Staff Science Satellite Data Acquisition Program focused on providing the research teams with the remotely
sensed satellite data products they needed to compare and spatially extend point results. Data acquired from the AVHRR instrument
on the NOAA-9, -11, -12, and -14 satellites were processed and archived for the BOREAS region by the MRSC and BORIS.
The data were acquired by CCRS and were provided for use by BOREAS researchers. A few winter acquisitions are available,
but the archive contains primarily growing season imagery. These gridded, at-sensor radiance image data cover the period of
30-Jan-1994 to 18-Sep-1996. Geographically, the data cover the entire 1,000-km x 1,000-km BOREAS region. The data are stored
in binary image format files.

The BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) staff personnel worked with several Canadian agencies to obtain various
GIS data for use in the research efforts. This data set is a series of ARC/INFO export files of the fire history of SASkatchewan
by year from 1945 to 1996, with a few missing years. The data set was compiled and provided by the SASkatchewan Environment
and Resource Management (SERM) Wildlife Branch.
