Global Land Cover Characterization (GLCC)
The Global Land Cover Characterization (GLCC) dataset is a collection of land cover classification schemes based on AVHRR data from April 1992 through March 1993. These data are available by continent or a single global coverage in either the Interrupted Goode Homolosine projection or in geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude). These data are available at the USGS Earth Explorer site.
