Global Land Cover 2000 v1.1 from the VEGETATION sensor on-board SPOT-4
Entry ID:
MEAR_25
Summary
Abstract:
Global Land Cover 2000 (GLC2000) - version 1_1 is produced by an international partnership of 30 research groups co-ordinated by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. The database contains two levels of land cover information; detailed, regionally optimized land cover legends for each continent and a less thematically detailed global legend that harmonizes regional legends into one consistent product. The land cover maps are all based on daily data from the VEGETATION sensor on-board SPOT 4, though mapping of some regions involved use of data from other Earth observing sensors to resolve specific issues. The global product is made through aggregation of these.
Purpose: The database is designed to serve users from science programmes, policy makers, environmental convention secretariats, non-governmental organizations and development-aid projects.
