This data are derived data sets from MODIS satellite photos.

The MODIS Land Cover Type product contains five classification schemes, which describe land cover properties derived from observations spanning a year’s input of Terra- and Aqua-MODIS data. The primary land cover scheme identifies 17 land cover classes defined by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme (IGBP), which includes 11 natural vegetation classes, 3 developed and mosaicked land classes, and three non-vegetated land classes.

The MODIS Terra + Aqua Land Cover Type Yearly L3 Global 500 m SIN Grid product incorporates five different land cover classification schemes, derived through a supervised decision-tree classification method.

V051 Land Cover Type products are produced with revised training data and certain algorithm refinements. For further details, please consult the following paper:
