The product was projected in a geographic (Lat/Long) projection at 0.00025o (approximately 30-m resolution), with the WGS84 horizontal datum and the EPSG:4326 vertical datum. The results consist of 504 tiles of 10º×10º, and each tile contains about 40,000×40,000 pixels. The data format is GeoTIFF. Each tile is coded according to the latitude and longitude shown in the upper left corner, with latitude in the front and longitude in the back. Latitude is two digits, with a prefix of N/S; longitude is three digits, with a prefix of E/W, where N is used at 0º latitude, and E is used at 0º longitude. Each tile file contains a layer in which the value of 1 represents forest and the value of 0 represents non-forest area.
