National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) Orthoimagery from 2005, Niwot Ridge LTER Project Area, Colorado

This data set contains imagery from the National AgriculturalImagery Program
(NAIP). NAIP acquires digital ortho imageryduring the agricultural growing seasons
in the continental U.S..A primary goal of the NAIP program is to enable availabilty
ofortho imagery within a year of acquisition. NAIP provides twomain products: 1
meter ground sample distance (GSD) orthoimagery rectified to a horizontal accuracy
of within +/- 5meters of reference digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQS) fromthe
National Digital Ortho Program (NDOP); and, 2 meter GSDortho imagery rectified to
within +/- 10 meters of referenceDOQQs. The tiling format of NAIP imagery is based
on a 3.75'x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 360 meter buffer on all foursides. NAIP
quarter quads are rectified to the UTM coordinatesystem NAD83. NAIP imagery can
obtain as much as 10% cloudcover per tile. NOTE: This EML metadata file does not
