The regionally adapted, continuous, and gap free time series has been created by data fusion methods based on fCover products of LSA-SAF (http://landsaf.meteo.pt/) and geoland 2 (BioPar, http://www.gmes-geoland.info/service-portfolio/biophysical-parameter-products.html). Additional information on the data: - 10-day timesteps (3 datasets per month) - spatial resolution: ~1km (Lat/Lon WGS-84, 0.00892857 deg) - coverage: 2007-2012 - data scaling: FCOVER[%]= pixelvalue/250 - valid data range: 0-250 (=0-100%), 255=no data - number of samples: 2130, number of lines: 1345 The dataset has been developed to improve the land surface description within Regional Climate Models (e.g. WRF) for West Africa.
