ACITES: Land cover data for the Olson and Global Land Cover Facility data sets
Model grid cell areas and land cover data for the Olson and Global Land Cover Facility. Data are regridded to a consistent 3 x 3 degree resolution and saved in NetCDF format.
The Olson land cover dataset was developed from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) composites covering 1992-1993.
The Global Land Cover Facility dataset was developed from monthly satellite sensor data of NDVI values for 1987.

Land cover data regridded to the same resolution
as the HTAP model results, approximately 3 x 3 degrees.
1. The data is in NetCDF format
2. The area for each 3 x 3 degree grid cell is in area3x3.nc
3. The land cover data for the Olson and Global Land Cover Facility
data sets are in: lc_olson_3x3.nc and lc_umd_3x3.nc
4. The original Olson land cover data set was obtained from:
http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/
5. The original Global Land Cover Facility data set was obtained from:
