Boreal\nforests and tundra hold the largest portion of inland water, about 40% of\nthe global total. The data exhibits strong linear correlation with both the\nMODIS dataset as well as 30-m resolution datasets over the United States\nand Canada. Residual errors were due primarily to the seasonality of water\ncover, snow and ice, and residual clouds.\n\nThe dataset contains one or more image for each available Landsat WRS2\npath/row.\n\nDocumentation:\n\n- [User's guide](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/1371/GFCC_User_Guide_V1.pdf)\n\n- [Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD)](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/1370/GFCC_ATBD.pdf)\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n30 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Pixel Size | Description |\n|---------|------------|----------------------|\n| `water` | meters | Water classification |\n\n**water Class Table**\n\n| Value | Color | Description |\n|-------|---------|--------------|\n| 1 | #fafafa | Land |\n| 2 | #00c5ff | Water |\n| 4 | #df73ff | Snow/ice |\n| 200 | #828282 | Cloud shadow |\n| 201 | #cccccc | Cloud |\n\n### Image Properties\n\n**Image Properties**\n\n| Name | Type | Description |\n|---------------------|----------|---------------------|\n| path | DOUBLE | Path |\n| pathrow | STRING | Path and row |\n| row | DOUBLE | Row |\n| water_class_names | DOUBLE | Water class names |\n| water_class_palette | DOUBLE | Water class palette |\n| water_class_values | INT_LIST | Water class values |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nIntellectual property rights to this dataset belong to University of\nMaryland, Department of Geographical Sciences and NASA.
