MODIS MCD12Q1 Land Cover and Land Use Time Series Global Mosaics 2001-2022 (500 m)

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).

Name convention

To ensure consistency and ease of use across and within the projects, we follow the
standard Open-Earth-Monitor file-naming convention. 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)
