Geospatial covariate data layers Covariates / Distance to edges of reclassified ESA-CCI-LC classes 2002 / Armenia 100m. Covariates

Distance to edges of reclassified ESA-CCI-LC classes 2002, Armenia

The dataset is available to download in Geotiff format at a resolution of 3 arc (approximately 100m at the equator). The projection is Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84.
The values of the raster are the distances (in kilometres) from the cell centres to the nearest feature

arm_esaccilc_dst200_100m_2002 Distance to ESA-CCI-LC bare area edges 2002

Methodology: The geodesic distances have been calculated using the haversine formula and global input datasets to avoid edge effects at the country boundaries.
