Global 2010 Bare Ground (30 m)

Description:

Global bare ground cover (bareground2010) are per pixel estimates of circa 2010 percent bare ground cover derived from annual seamless composites of Landsat 7 ETM+ per band median reflectance values of all cloud/shadow free growing season observations. Regression tree models estimating per pixel percentage of bare ground cover were applied to annual composites from 2000 to 2012 inclusive (Hansen and others, 2013).
