that it would be representative of the region at scales up to 100-200 km,
which is the typical size of a grid box in a numerical global climate model.
This section quantifies the spatial uniformity of the Uardry site using
airborne and ATSR-2 images.
Figure 3 shows a 520-600 nm image (~20-m pixels) of the Uardry site
taken by the Daedalus airborne multi-channel scanner on 26 April 1997. The
overlaid histograms and statistics quantify the uniformity of each 1-km
square. No calibration has been applied.
