Figure 3: Time series of reference BA areas derived from multitemporal pairs of Landsat TM/ETM- images for the study sites 
adapted to the needs of the climate modelling community, both 
in terms of specifications and contents. The current status of the 
project is now focusing on developing the BA and merging 
algorithms and therefore, there are not yet BA outputs available.
