ISLSCP II IGBP DISCover and SiB Global Land Cover with 0.25 °, 0.5 ° and 1 °, 1992-1993


The data sets are provided as a contribution to the International Satellite Land Surface Climatology (ISLSCP) Initiative II data collection at three spatial resolutions of 0.25, 0.5 and 1degrees lat/long and for two different classification schemes. For each spatial resolution there is adominant land cover type classification layer, ranging from 0 to 15 for the SiB (Simple Biosphere) classification scheme, and from 1 to 17 for the IGBP classification scheme. For each classification scheme used, there are layers that provide the fraction, from 0 to 100, of each land cover type per cell. This data set represents the land cover types present during the period from April 1992 to March. The temporal resolution is thus one year.


File naming and required software

Percentage data naming: scheme_ XX_ cZZ. asc, where scheme land cover classification scheme (IGBP or SiB), XX is qd, hd or 1d, representing the spatial resolution of 1/4, 1/2 or 1 degree respectively; ZZ number is from 00-15 (or 1-17 is IGBP)
The main land cover type data is named: scheme_ XX_ domclass. asc, where scheme land cover classification scheme (IGBP or SiB), XX is qd, hd or 1d, representing the spatial resolution of 1/4, 1/2 or 1 degree respectively; domclass is the main land use type.
Data reading method: the format of the data set is asc, which can be directly opened and displayed with Arcgis.
