Purpose: TBD
Description: Northern edge of Landsat WRS-2 201/47. Used by CNES (100 x 100 km) - smaller area would be better.

Google Earth: Dunes at detailed scales. Reasonably spatially homogeneous across 50 km by 50 km, although patchy (in color and intensity) across larger area on western side. Large dune patterns across northern half of 201/47, so avoid that area.
Support Data: TBD
Suitability: TBD
Limitations: TBD
