Description
This directory contains the following maps in GeoTIFF format: open-water frequency, time-series of reflectance for each band (Red and NIR), and frequency of SSSC classes. Fassoni-Andrade, A.

Number of Bands: 1 Values between 0 and 100. Pixel Type: floating point Pixel Depth: 32 bit No Data Value: 0 2.2) File: class_SSC_frequency.tif This map represents a 15-year frequency (2003-2017) at which each pixel in rivers and lakes of central Amazon basin remains in one of the surface suspended sediments concentration classes (SSSC): high, moderate, and low. The open-water frequency map must be considered to interpret the sediments temporal dynamics in the class frequency map. For example, a pixel in the floodplain lake with frequency of 10, 30, and 20% in SSSC classes low, medium and high respectively, remains 40% of the time as no open-water. Number of Bands: 3 band 1: low SSSC class; band 2: Moderate SSSC class; band 3: High SSSC class Composition of bands for best visualization: R(3)G(2)B(1) without contrast Values between 0 and 100. Pixel Type: double precision Pixel Depth: 64 bit No Data Value: 0 2.3) File: time_series_nir.tif This map represents the climatology time series of infrared (nir) reflectance in period of four-days in rivers and lakes of central Amazon basin between 2003 and 2017 (15 years). Number of Bands: 92 (each band represent a date that is identified in dates.txt file) Values between 0 and 10000. Pixel Type: floating point Pixel Depth: 32 bit No Data Value: 0 2.4) File: time_series_red.tif This map represents the climatology time series of red reflectance in period of four-days in rivers and lakes of central Amazon basin between 2003 and 2017 (15 years). Number of Bands: 92 (each band represent a date that is identified in dates.txt file) Values between 0 and 10000. Pixel Type: floating point Pixel Depth: 32 bit No Data Value: 0
