CCI - Land CoverObjectives & Description
Following the GCOS Implementation Plan, the purpose of the Climate Change Initiative Land Cover project is to make the best use of available satellite sensor data in order to provide an accurate land cover classification that can serve the climate modeling community.
The involvement of the climate research community (Met Office, MPI-M and LSCE) as users is a cornerstone of this CCI Land Cover project and, in order to meet their requirement set in this project, the CCI Land Cover maps propose a legend based on the FAO/UNEP Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) with the view to be as much as possible compatible with the GLC2000, GlobCover 2005 and GlobCover 2009 products.
These maps were produced using a multi-year and multi-sensor strategy in order to make use of all suitable data and maximize product accuracy. The entire 2003-2012 MERIS Full and Reduced Resolution archive was used as input by UCL-Geomatics to generate a 10-year 2003-2012 global land cover map. This 10-year product has then served as baseline to derive the 2010, 2005 and 2000 maps using back-dating techniques with MERIS and SPOT-Vegetation time series specific to each epoch.
The validation of the CCI Land Cover products has been performed by regional experts coordinated by the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC).

CCI - Land CoverClassification methodology
Capitalize on and improve the GlobCover
classification chain
GlobCover principles:
• Regionally-tuned approach based on 22 equal-reasoning areas
• Unsupervised classification algorithm (supervised for specific minor classes)
• Typology defined using FAO LCCS to be in line with existing products and compatible with the Plant Functional Types (PFTs) as described by modellers
Improvements:
• Major use of supervised (machine learning) classification algorithm
• Ensure consistency between successive LC maps through the use of several years of multispectral composites
