Monthly Vegetation Cover Raster for Queensland at 30-Meter Resolution

Delivering monthly raster data predicting the proportion of bare ground, green, and non-green vegetation cover for Queensland, Australia, at a 30-meter per-pixel resolution. It is a medoid-composited product derived from a combined Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 time series. The product has been superseded and will not be processed from early 2023.

Use Cases

• Analyze monthly changes in the proportion of bare ground, green, and non-green cover for land management.
• Model vegetation dynamics using the 30-meter resolution raster data for Queensland.
• Compare medoid-composited monthly fractional cover values from the combined Landsat and Sentinel-2 time series.

Strengths

• Provides spatially explicit raster data at a medium resolution of 30 meters per pixel.
• Derived from a combined time series of two satellite platforms, Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2.
• Offers monthly temporal granularity for tracking vegetation cover changes.

Limitations

• The product has been superseded and will not be processed from early 2023, indicating it is not current.
• Specific technical details like row count, column count, and file sizes are unavailable.
• The dataset's format includes HTML and PNG, which may not be standard for direct geospatial analysis without conversion.
