There were 249 TM scenes and one Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) scene acquired for these analyses. The images are 30-m Landsat resolution and were georectified to the Brazilian space agency 1998 and 1999 PRODES imagery. There are 250 GeoTIIF image files (*.tif) in this data set. Files are grouped by region and year/month/day scene was taken.
