WHUS2-CRv a global thin cloud removal dataset for Sentinel-2 images——Validation and testing parts

The validation and testing parts of WHUS2-CRv dataset in which the paired cloud and cloud-free Sentinel-2 images are from different regions of the world. The types of land cover are rich and the acquisition dates of the experimental data cover a long time period (from 2015 to 2020) and all seasons.
