Envisat global land cover map

ESA’s global land cover map was generated using 19 months worth of data, collected between January 2005 and June 2006, from Envisat’s Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument. It is the highest resolution land cover map that has been completely validated ever released.
