2004 Global Vegetation from Blue Marble Next Generation
The Blue Marble Next Generation data set provides a monthly global cloud-free true-color picture of the Earth's land cover at a 500-meter spatial resolution. This visualization of the data set shows seasonal variations such as snowfall, spring greening and droughts in a seamless fashion, thereby heightening awareness of changes in the Earth's climate. The image here shows a global view of the data. This data set is derived from imagery taken in 2004 by the MODIS instrument on the Terra satellite.

This still image shows a global view of landcover in June 2004.    This still image shows a global view of landcover in June 2004.
