E3 - Nashville Landsat Land Use/Land Cover Classification

 The Southern Oxidants Study (SOS) conducted a major field research
 campaign in Nashville/Middle Tennessee area in June and July 1994 and
 1995. The goal of this study was to improve scientific understanding
 of the processes that control the production and distribution of ozone
 in the troposphere.

 Landsat Thematic mapper (TM) data (acquired in May 1994) and aerial
 photographs were used to develop a classified image representing 13
 land use/land cover categories for most of the Nashville/Middle
 Tennessee study area. The 13 categories are: conifer,
 hardwood, mixed-hardwood, low-density vegetation, agriculture, bare
 soil, disturbed land, grass, clear cut, high-density developed,
 medium-density developed, low-density developed, and water. The
 classified image was gridded to a 1 square kilometer scale using
 ARC/Info GIS. Total hectares and fractions of each land use/land
 cover category were calculated for each grid cell and county-level
 information (land use/land cover hectares and fractions) was summarized.

 The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was the coordinator for the 1995
 Southern Oxidants Study Nashville/Middle Tennessee Ozone Study. See:
