 ## TIFF Metadata
-Each tiff file contains a 512x512 pixel tiff file. Scenes have 6 bands, and masks have 1 band. For satellite scenes, each band has already been converted to reflectance.

-After co-locating the shapefile and HLS scene, the 512x512 chip was formed by taking a window with the burn scar in the center. Burn scars near the edges of HLS tiles are offset from center.  
+After co-locating the shapefile and HLS scene, the 512x512 chip was formed by taking a window with the burn scar in the center. Burn scars near the edges of HLS tiles are offset from the center.  
 Images were manually filtered for cloud cover and missing data to provide as clean a scene as possible, and burn scar presence was also manually verified.
