Description

Landsat bands (cloud free) and tree cover (2000) based on Hansen et al. (2013), global surface water occurrence based on Pekel at al. (2016), and tree cover and bare-ground cover (2010) based the USGS land cover mapping projects (University of Maryland, Department of Geographical Sciences and USGS). All layers resampled to spatial resolution 1/480 d.d. (about 250 m) using gdalwarp with "average" resampling. Antarctica is not included. Original layers are available at 30 m resolution.

If you discover a bug, artifact or inconsistency in the maps, or if you have a question please use some of the following channels:

All files internally compressed using "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" creation option in GDAL. File naming convention:

  • lcv = theme: land cover,
  • bareground = variable: occurrence of bareground,
  • landsat.usgs = determination method: Landsat landcover at 30 m resolution project (https://landcover.usgs.gov/glc/),
  • p = probability or fraction,
  • 250m = spatial resolution / block support: 250 m,
  • s0..0cm = vertical reference: land surface,
  • 2010..2010 = time reference: year 2010,
  • v1.0 = version number: 1.0,
