1km Global Mosaics

These mosaics are 1km versions of the original 250m product (which is available here). They are in GeoTiff format and available in both Sinusoidal and Goode's Homolosine projections.

Global Cropland Probability
Sinusoidal: Value from 1 to 100 is probability that that pixel is production cropland. Value of 0 is water and value of 255 is no data.

Goode's Homolosine: Value from 1 to 100 is probability that that pixel is production cropland. Value of 0 is water. Value of 255 is no data within the Goode's mapped area and 253 is no data outside of the Goode's mapped area..

Global Discrete Cropland/Not-Cropland
Sinusoidal: A value of 1 means cropland, 0 means not cropland. A value of 254 means water and 255 is no data.

Goode's Homolosine: A value of 1 means cropland, 0 means not cropland. A value of 254 means water. A value of 255 is no data within the Goode's mapped area and 253 is no data outside of the Goode's mapped area.
