Introduction

Initially, the dataset was developed for land cover characterization in the range of environmental research and modelling applications. It is derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data spanning a 12 month period from April 1992 to March 1993. The ACHHR is a space-borne sensor mounted on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) family of polar orbiting platforms.

This dataset has a global coverage. It is based on a 1 km x 1 km grid, so note that such a resolution is to coarse for Micro scale AEP calculation models! This data is the version 2.0 of the global land cover characteristics data base, see the USGS web site [1].
