Description
The free available dataset by the European Space Agency (ESA) contains the global landcover, which is divided into eleven classes:
- Tree cover
- Shrubland
- Grassland
- Cropland
- Built-up
- Bare/sparse vegetation
- Snow and ice
- Permanent water bodies
- Herbaceous wetland
- Mangroves
- Moss and lichen.
The landcover was originally derived from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data. There are 2651 tiles (3x3 degrees) at a spatial resolution of 10m, which can be downloaded as GeoTIFFs in the the EPSG:4326 projection (WGS84). For each tile there are two layers. One contains the land cover map and the other a three band GeoTIFF providing three per pixel quality indicators of the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 input data.
