Desert Storm - Military Space Mapping The Defense Mapping Agency apparently has tried to get approval for a Map-Sat which would be dedicated military mapping satellite, but this has not been approved. Digital maps for Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM-C) with conventional warheads were prepared using satellite imagery by the Defense Mapping Agency. Mapping satellite systems were also used to assist in the location and destruction of Iraqi mobile missile launchers, by analyzing terrain to determine likely firing sites. www.fas.org /spp/military/docops/operate/ds/mapping.htm   (1182 words)

TROPICAL AFRICA: LAND USE, BIOMASS, AND CARBON ESTIMATES FOR 1980 The land-use data provided were derived from a vegetation map originally produced for the FAO by the International Institute of Vegetation Mapping, Toulouse, France. The first map is a isopleth map of annual precipitation and the second is of an integrated climate index that provides a measure of the growing season length based on five climatic variables (Weck 1970). Thus, the map of actual biomass density for woody vegetation in 1980 reflects the predicted maximum potential biomass, the forest type stratification, and the population density in 1980. cdiac.esd.ornl.gov /epubs/ndp/ndp055/ndp055.html   (7777 words)
