General Description The yearly land use and land cover dataset is derived from MCD12Q1 v061 . This data provides an yearly mosaics of land use and land cover data from 2001 to 2022 in cloud optimized Geotiff (COG) format. This dataset includes layers of land cover type 1 (t1), 2 (t2), and 5 (t5), land cover property 1 (p1) and 2 (p2), land cover property assessment 1 (p1a) and 2 (p2a), and land cover quality control (qc). Data Details Time period: 2001–2022 Type of data: Land cover and land use How the data was collected or derived: Derived from MCD12Q1 v061 using Google Earth Engine . Statistical methods used: None Limitations or exclusions in the data: The dataset does not include data for Antarctica. Coordinate reference system: EPSG:4326 Bounding box (Xmin, Ymin, Xmax, Ymax): (-180.00000, -62.00081, 179.99994, 87.37000) Spatial resolution: 1/120 d.d. = 0.008333333 (1km) Image size: 86,400 x 35,849 File format: Cloud optimized Geotiff.

The convention works with 10 fields that describes important properties of the data. In this way users can search files, prepare data analysis etc, without needing to open files. The fields are: generic variable name: lc = Land cover variable procedure combination: mcd12q1v061.t1 = MCD12Q1 v061 LC Type1 band Position in the probability distribution / variable type: c = class | p = probability Spatial support: 500m Depth reference: s = surface Time reference begin time: 20010101 = 2001-01-01 Time reference end time: 20011231 = 2001-12-31 Bounding box: go = global (without Antarctica) EPSG code: epsg.4326 = EPSG:4326 Version code: v20230818 = creation date
