Friedl, M. A., et al. 2002. Global Land Cover Mapping from MODIS: Algorithms and Early Results. Remote Sensing of the Environment 83: 287-302.These data provide land cover classifications derived from the Boston University MOD12Q1 V004 MODIS/Terra 1 km Land Cover Product (Friedl et al. 2002). The data are available in various EASE-Grid 2.0 azimuthal and global projections, in multiple spatial resolutions ranging from 3 km to 100 km. The data are in flat binary, 1 byte files that are stored by row.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://nsidc.org/sites/default/files/nsidc-0608-0610-v001-userguide.pdfEASE-Grid 2.0 Land Cover Classifications Derived from Boston University MODIS/Terra Land Cover Data, Version 1 User GuideGET DATAhttps://daacdata.apps.nsidc.org/pub/DATASETS/nsidc0610_classification_ease2/HTTPSCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92011-01-012026-08-10NSIDCVersion SummaryInitial releaseNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCSpatial Reference SystemsEPSG:6931WGS 84 / NSIDC EASE-Grid 2.0 NorthEPSG:6932WGS 84 / NSIDC EASE-Grid 2.0 SouthEPSG:6933WGS 84 / NSIDC EASE-Grid 2.0 GlobalNSIDCLevel of ServiceStandardNSIDCFull Dataset CitationBrodzik, M.
