LULC and Emissions

• Goal is to compare the TCEQ (250 m. resolution) LULC categories used
  for meteorological simulation and biogenic emission estimations with
  the satellite-generated TFS (30 m. resolution) LULC classes; and to
  improve current input data for air quality modeling;
• 250 meter resolution TCEQ Biogenic LULC data was used as the
  starting point. This dataset was re-categorized according to the USGS
  LULC categories. Finally this dataset was rasterized and exported out for
  MM5 modeling;
• 30 m resolution LULC data from Texas Forest Service was processed
  through MIMS to prepare 1-km or 4-km resolved LC classes for biogenics
  estimations and input for MM5 simulations;
• Changes in LULC classes for the last decade, are being used to project
  the future spatial distribution of LULC classes.
