The Best Data Available layer (BDL) is intended to provide a imagery base layer that covers the entire state of Alaska.
h4. It contains three main layers:
BDL: Low Res
- The *bdl_low_res* layer contains the Blue Marble Next Generation July dataset (http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/features/blue_marble.html). It is intended to be viewed at scales greater than 250m per pixel

BDL: Mid Res
- The *bdl_mid_res* layer contains a Landsat mosaic generated by the USGS from data acquired from 1988 to 1992 and a simulated true colour Landsat mosaic provide by Earthstar Geographics LLC. It is intended to be viewed at scales greater than 15m per pixel. Imagery copyright Earthstar Geographics (http://www.terracolor.net).
