This data set consists of GIS layers that describe the soils of the BOREAS SSA. These original data layers were submitted<br />
as vector data in ARC/INFO EXPORT format. These data also include the soil name <strong>and</strong> soil layer files, which provide additional<br />
information about the soils. There are three sets of attributes that include information on the primary, secondary, <strong>and</strong> tertiary soil<br />
type within each polygon. Thus, there is a total of nine main attributes in this data set.<br />

This data set was acquired as a general provincial scale vegetation cover map <strong>and</strong> an alternative to the very detailed vector<br />
forest cover data available for the BOREAS SSA. The data set was prepared by SERM-FBIU, <strong>and</strong> is a condensed forest cover<br />
type map of SASkatchewan at a scale of 1:1,000,000. The date of the maps from which this data set was generated is unknown;<br />
it is estimated that the forest cover maps were made in the mid-1980s.<br />

This data set was gridded by BOREAS Information System (BORIS) Staff from a vector data set received from the Canadian<br />
Soil Information System (CanSIS). The original data came in two parts that covered SASkatchewan <strong>and</strong> Manitoba. The data were<br />
gridded <strong>and</strong> merged into one data set of 84 files covering the BOREAS region. The data were gridded into the AEAC projection.<br />
Because the mapping of the two provinces was done separately in the original vector data, there may be discontinuities in some<br />
of the soil layers because of different interpretations of certain soil properties. The data are stored in binary, image format files.<br />

This flight report describes the field component of Meltpond2000, the first in a series of Arctic <strong>and</strong> Antarctic aircraft campaigns<br />
planned as part of NASA’s Earth Observing System Aqua sea ice validation program for the Advanced Microwave Scanning<br />
Radiometer (AMSR-E). This prelaunch Arctic field campaign was carried out between June 25 <strong>and</strong> July 6, 2000 from Thule,<br />
