MAS data catalog: Bias-corrected CCI land cover

Details

This dataset corrects issues observed in land cover dataset of ESA’s Climate Change Initiative (CCI). The original data maps implausible changes caused by methodological artificats, which often manifest as false, country-wide land cover transitions. We corrected for these anomalies with the support ofannual Vegetation Continuous Fields (VCF) data mapped at a 300-m resolution, which we used to identify and correct erroneous pixels. The output is a bias-corrected land cover dataset with novel class combinations and per-pixel percentages for dominant vegetated classes.
