LANDMET Ancillary ISCCP Surface Type Data L3 V1 (LANDMET_ANC_ST) at GES DISC

Published by NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/TISL/GESDISC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: September 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-11

This is an ancillary product containing the land surface type information includes, for each map grid cell, the type and coverage fractions of the top three surface types present in the cell. The sum of these three fractions may not equal the land fraction if more types are present (usually a small difference). The product is a climatology data, no change in time, with spatial grid cell on equal-area mapping at 1.0-degree-equivalent.
