Gradient mapping of pattern ground characteristics from a photomosaic of the IBP tundra biome site near Barrow, Alaska

An air photographic mosaic covering an area of 44.5×10 5 m 2 was subdivided into 741 rectangular cells (60×100 m). Pattern frequency, center relief, shape, and wedge image clarity were tabulated using three states for each character on a nominal scale. These state variables were converted to an inte...
