Abstract
Forest and non-forest samples selected from an existing European fores t map were classified using 8 months of cloud-screened European AVHRR data divided into 82 ecological/climatic strata. Consistently higher m ean monthly forest/non-forest classification accuracies were found whe n the samples were classified using Normalized Difference Vegetation I ndex (NDVI) and surface temperature (T-s) data rather than using NDVI or T-s data alone.
