Climate Change Initiative Land Cover, continued by Copernicus C3S. 300 m annual land cover since 1992.
Twenty-two classes in the UN Land Cover Classification System, consistent from 1992 onward. The longest annual global land-cover record, suited to land-use change scenarios in long hydrological simulations.
