For BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS), the ER-2 <strong>and</strong> other aerial photography was collected to provide<br />
finely detailed <strong>and</strong> spatially extensive documentation of the condition of the primary study sites. The ER-2 aerial photography<br />
consists of color-IR transparencies collected during flights in 1994 <strong>and</strong> 1996 over the study areas.<br />

For BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS), C-130 <strong>and</strong> other aerial photography was collected to provide finely<br />
detailed <strong>and</strong> spatially extensive documentation of the condition of the primary study sites. The NASA C-130 Earth Resources<br />
aircraft can accommodate two mapping cameras during flight, each of which can be fitted with 6- or 12-inch focal-length lenses<br />
<strong>and</strong> black-<strong>and</strong>-white, natural-color, or color-IR film, depending upon requirements. Both cameras were often in operation simultaneously,<br />
although sometimes only the lower resolution camera was deployed. When both cameras were in operation, the higher<br />
resolution camera was often used in a more limited fashion. The acquired photography covers the period of <strong>April</strong> to September<br />
1994. The aerial photography was delivered as rolls of large format (9 x 9 inch) color transparency prints, with imagery from multiple<br />
missions (hundreds of prints) often contained within a single roll. A total of 1533 frames were collected from the C-130 platform<br />
for BOREAS in 1994. Note that the level-0 C-130 transparencies are not contained on the BOREAS CD-ROM set. An<br />
inventory file is supplied on the CD-ROM to inform users of all the data that were collected. Some photographic prints were made<br />
from the transparencies. In addition, BORIS staff digitized a subset of the tranparencies <strong>and</strong> stored the images in JPEG format.<br />
The CD-ROM set contains a small subset of the collected aerial photography that were the digitally scanned <strong>and</strong> stored as JPEG<br />
files for most tower <strong>and</strong> auxiliary sites in the NSA <strong>and</strong> SSA. See Section 15 for information about how to acquire additional imagery.<br />

This data set contains vector contours <strong>and</strong> other features of individual topographic map sheets from the National Topographic<br />
Series (NTS). The map sheet files were received in St<strong>and</strong>ard Interchange Format (SIF) <strong>and</strong> cover the BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere<br />
Study (BOREAS) Northern Study Area (NSA) <strong>and</strong> Southern Study Area (SSA) at scales of 1:50,000 <strong>and</strong> 1:250,000. The<br />
individual files are stored in compressed UNIX tar archives.<br />
