Agricultural area by year between 1988 and 2000 in Kabul, Afghanistan
This multi-band raster dataset describes the extent of agricultural activity, including both growing and bare or fallow agricultural fields, surrounding the city of Kabul, Afghanistan for 1988 - 2020. Landsat multispectral images acquired at the height of each year's growing season were used to perform a combined vegetation and clay band ratio analysis. Each band of this raster dataset represents a single year of analysis result; Band 1 indicates agricultural area for 1988, Band 2 indicates that of 1989, and so on. Due to cloud coverage or gaps in the image record, an appropriate image was not available for nine of the years during this 32-year time period; in total 24 Landsat images were used. Band 1 indicates agricultural area for 1988, Band 2 indicates agricultural area for 1990, Band 3 indicates agricultural area for 1992, Band 4 indicates agricultural area for 1993, Band 5 indicates agricultural area for 1994, Band 6 indicates agricultural area for 1995, Band 7 indicates agricultural area for 1996, Band 8 indicates agricultural area for 1997, Band 9 indicates agricultural area for 1998, Band 10 indicates agricultural area for 1999, Band 11 indicates agricultural area for 2000, Band 12 indicates agricultural area for 2001, Band 13 indicates agricultural area for 2002, Band 14 indicates agricultural area for 2003, Band 15 indicates agricultural area for 2008, Band 16 indicates agricultural area for 2011, Band 17 indicates agricultural area for 2013, Band 18 indicates agricultural area for 2014, Band 19 indicates agricultural area for 2015, Band 20 indicates agricultural area for 2016, Band 21 indicates agricultural area for 2017, Band 22 indicates agricultural area for 2018, Band 23 indicates agricultural area for 2019, Band 24 indicates agricultural area for 2020.
