Evaluation of the GLC2000 and NALC2005 land cover products for LAI retrieval over Canada
Abstract
Land cover information is an important input parameter for retrieving key land surface biophysical parameters, such as leaf area index (LAI), often parameterized with geometrical-optical properties distinctive among land cover types. This paper presents a comparative assessment and evaluation of the 1 km Global Land Cover (GLC2000) and the 250 m North American Land Cover (NALC2005) over Canada. We used a 30 m Circa 2000 Land Cover from …
