EnviroAtlas -- Tampa, FL -- Meter-Scale Urban Land Cover (MULC) Data (2010)

Description

The EnviroAtlas Tampa, FL Meter-Scale Urban Land Cover (MULC) data was generated from USDA NAIP (National Agricultural Imagery Program) four band (red, green, blue and near infrared) aerial photography from April-May 2010 at 1 m spatial resolution. Eight land cover classes were mapped: impervious surface, soil and barren, grass and herbaceous, trees and forest, water, agriculture, woody wetland, and emergent wetland. The area mapped is defined by the US Census Bureau's 2010 Urban Statistical Area for Tampa, and includes the cities of Clearwater and St. Petersburg, as well as additional out-lying areas. An accuracy assessment using a stratified random sampling of 600 samples (100 per class) yielded an overall accuracy of 70.67 percent and an area weighted accuracy of 81.87 percent using a minimum mapping unit of 9 pixels (3x3 pixel window). This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).
