"The purpose of this compilation is to provide land cover classification data and the means of displaying these data to a broad range of potential users. This set consists of satellite derived data which were analyzed and classified according to use, the GeoVu software package developed at the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and this manual which discusses the data and explains how to use GeoVu to display and obtain useful information from these data ... The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) appreciates the value of integrated data management, and has assembled data for this compact disc in order to simplify the work of scientists performing regional geophysical studies. The compact disc medium was selected because it is capable of storing a large quantity of data, while providing easy and cost-effective retrieval in a desktop environment ..."

- The compact disc contains approximately 336 megabytes of land data for the Chesapeake Bay area (1984 and 1988-1989). The majority of the data consists of three large binary grids (raster, 109 megabytes each), one classification for each time period, and one change analysis. The remaining 3% of the disc contains geopolitical base map reference data (in DLG format). The DLG data are unsupported within this product and are included for potential future upgrades. -- Disc 1: Coastal change analysis (Chesapeake Bay Region) -- Disc 2: Global ecosystems database -- Disc 3: Experimental calibrated global vegetation index from NOAA's AVHRR -- Disc 4: TerrainBase, Worldwide digital terrain data
