    In the context of developing a practicable and cost effective method for obtaining a country’s forest area by remote sensing, the computer processing of NOAA AVHRR HRPT data covering Liberia was investigated.

To mitigate the effects of this, the country was divided into six areas (strata) of more uniform haze conditions.
