DLR Map of Human Settlements based on SAR data

As part of the ESA Land Cover Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project a new set of yearly Global Land Cover Maps have been produced. Each pixel value corresponds to the classification of a land cover class defined based on the UN Land Cover Classification System (LCCS). The reliability of the classifications made are documented by the four quality flags (decribed further in the Product User Guide) that accompany these maps.
