ESA High Resolution Land Cover Climate Change Initiative (High_Resolution_Land_Cover_cci): High Resolution Land Cover and Land Cover Change Maps in Africa (Eastern Sahel region) at 30m spatial resolution in GeoTiff format, 1990-2019, v1.2
Abstract
This dataset contains high resolution (HR) land cover (LC) and land cover change (LCC) maps of a subregion of Africa, produced by the ESA High Resolution Land Cover (HRLC) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. It consists of the following products:
1) HRLC30: High Resolution Land Cover Maps at 30m spatial resolution for years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2019.
2) HRLCC30: High Resolution Land Cover Change Maps at 30m spatial resolution of yearly changes. A map every 5 years (1990-1995, 1995-2000, 2000-2005, 2005-2010, 2010-2015,2015-2019) is provided which reports (high priority) changed pixels and their year within the 5-years temporal interval.
3) Associated uncertainty products.
They cover the geographic range (3.5°N – 16.3°N; 27.0°E – 43.3°E).
The data are provided as both GeoTIFF tiles following the Sentinel-2 MGRS tiling scheme and as a GeoTiff format mosaic. These maps are also referred to as historical maps.
