January 2000 classified RADARSAT image depicting winter shorebird habitat in the Willamette Valley, OR

This dataset is one of a collection of three land cover maps of the Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA, depicting 4 habitat classes: wet with <= 50% vegetation cover (class 1), wet with >50% vegetation (class 2), dry with <= 50% vegetation (class 3), dry with >50% vegetation (class 4). Land cover maps were derived by classifying signatures from C-band (5.6 cm wavelength), HH-polarized radar remote sensing (RADARSAT) data collected at a 38 degree incidence angle (8-m resolution). The data are in the form of an ERDAS Imagine image.
