This dataset has a global coverage. It is based on a 1 km x 1 km grid, so note that such a resolution is too coarse for micro-scale AEP calculation models! These data are the version 2.0 of the global land cover characteristics data base, see [http://edc2.usgs.gov/glcc/glcc.php USGS web site] for further details.

Various legends exist for this dataset. At EMD, we use the legend from the US Geological Survey, see the table below. In addition to the legend, we (EMD) also suggested a roughness length, z0. This length is shown in the last column of the table.

Introduction

GlobCover Roughness Data in WindPRO

GlobCover is an ESA initiative which began in 2005 in partnership with JRC, EEA, FAO, UNEP, GOFC-GOLD and IGBP. The aim of the project was to develop a service capable of delivering global composites and land cover maps using as input observations from the 300m MERIS sensor on board the ENVISAT satellite mission. ESA makes available the land cover maps, which cover 2 periods: December 2004 - June 2006 and January - December 2009. See more at: http://due.esrin.esa.int/globcover/

Coverage

This dataset has a global coverage. It is based on a 1 km x 1 km grid, so note that such a resolution is too coarse for micro-scale AEP calculation models! These data are the version 2.0 of the global land cover characteristics data base, see USGS web site for further details.

Legends

Various legends exist for this dataset. At EMD, we use the legend from the US Geological Survey, see the table below. In addition to the legend, we (EMD) also suggested a roughness length, z0. This length is shown in the last column of the table.
