Description
Abstract
The 50 images in this published set are natural color renditions (Landsat bands 3, 2, 1) of the calibrated 6-band Landsat 7 ETM+ mosaics.  We applied the hybrid MODIS-Munsell natural-color transform to the Landsat 28.5-m image data that were produced as 1º x 2º map-tile mosaics by Davis (2006).

Purpose
The purpose of the dataset is to form a functional and consistent digital natural color image base to support the USGS and USAID natural resource assessments for the country of Afghanistan.
