Land use of Australia 2010-11 - National Map - ESRI GRID - integer - Geographics - Compressed.
The Land use of Australia 2010-11 agricultural land uses and their spatial distributions are based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics' 2010-11 agricultural census data. The spatial distribution of the agricultural land uses is modelled and was determined using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite imagery with training data to make agricultural land use allocations. The non-agricultural land uses are drawn from existing digital maps covering seven themes: topographic features, catchment scale land use, protected areas, World Heritage Areas, tenure, forest type and vegetation condition.
The Land use of Australia 2010-11 is supplied as a set of raster datasets (in Esri grid format) with coordinates referred to the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94) with a 0.01 degree pixel size.
The Land use of Australia 2010-11 national map is an integer categorical summary land use grid, which has a value attribute table (VAT) with columns defining input layers and an output layer. The output layer specifies land use in terms of the Australian Land Use and Management Classification (ALUMC) Version 7 and is an approximation to a maximum likelihood map.
