| Abstract |
The Global Land Cover Test Sites (GLCTS) project is developing a multitemporal dataset of satellite imagery for
a globally distributed set of test sites. This dataset will provide a resource for research on land cover
characterization and the testing of algorithms for NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). The selected test
sites will represent a wide range of land cover types and will be well characterized on the ground, have ongoing
field-based observation programs, and of be interest to the international global change research community.
GLCTS development is being coordinated with a number of affiliated organizations
NASA;
Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP-DAAC) at the EROS Data Center;
Affiliated Users (USGAU);
