LUC coefficient (model 2)
Landcare Research New Zealand LimitedA 25m resolution grid based on Land Use Capability (LUC) class where LUC class numbers 1 to 8 have been substituted by regression coefficients. This grid is provided as a regression variable for calculating BASE carrying capacity for Mackenzie Basin high country leases (i.e. for use with Model 2).Created 11 April 2018 • Updated 11 April 2018 -
ALOS-PRISM Digital Elevation Model
Landcare Research New Zealand LimitedThe PRISM instrument is carried on the Japanese ALOS satellite and has three sensors that provide forward, nadir, and aft-looking views of the terrain. The forward and aft views can be combined to give stereo coverage with approximately a one-to-one base-to-height ratio, which is almost ideal for generating terrain information. The nominal spatial...Created 11 April 2018 • Updated 11 April 2018 -
