Support for this effort was provided by the following NASA
programs: making Earth Science Data Records for Use in Re-
search Environment (NNH06ZDA001N-MEASURES), Land
Cover and Land Use Change (NNH07ZDA001N-LCLUC),
NASA ACCESS (NH11ZDA001N-ACCESS) and NASA Indi-
cators (NNH12ZDA001N-INCA). We would also like to thank
Linda Jonescheit Owen for providing the GLS data–distribu-
tion values from the USGS EROS Data Center.
