			<procdesc>This scene was terrain corrected at the EROS Data Center and purchased by UMAC for distribution to the UMAC Learning Community. After arrival at UMAC this scene was converted to scaled reflectance values using ATCOR. To obtain percent reflectance, divide pixel values by 4.
This ASTER scene was obtained from the EROS Data Center. The DN values have been converted to scaled reflectance using ATCOR. To obtain percent reflectance, divide the pixel values by 4. This scene has a horizontal accuracy of 45 meters.
