GLOBCOVER
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geography, GLOBCOVER is a two-year project whose goal is to develop the sharpest map of Earth's global land cover. The project will contribute information relevant to land use, ecosystems and climate change. The artificial satellite Envisat (especially its Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) will gather much of the data for GLOBCOVER. A total of approximately twenty terabytes are expected to be generated. GLOBCOVER is a part of the Earth Observation Data User Element.
