#### Description

The European Space Agency (ESA) WorldCereal 10 m 2021 product suite consists
of global-scale annual and seasonal crop maps and their related confidence.
They were generated as part of the
[ESA-WorldCereal project](https://esa-worldcereal.org/). More information on
the content of these products and the methodology used to generate them is
described in \[1\].

This collection contains up to 106 agro-ecological zone (AEZ) images for
each product which were all processed with respect to their own regional
seasonality and should be considered as independent products. These seasons
are described in the list below and were developed in \[2\] as part of the
project. Note that cereals as described by WorldCereal include wheat,
barley, and rye, which belong to the *Triticeae* tribe.

WorldCereal seasons description:

- tc-annual: a one-year cycle being defined in an AEZ by the end of the last considered growing season
- tc-wintercereals: the main cereals season defined in an AEZ
- tc-springcereals: optional springcereals season, only defined in certain AEZ
- tc-maize-main: the main maize season defined in an AEZ
- tc-maize-second: optional second maize season, only defined in certain AEZ

The available products in this collection are:

- temporarycrops
- maize
- wintercereals
- springcereals
- irrigation

Each product (image) has a binary classification (0 or 100) and a confidence
(0-100) band. Note that AEZs for which no irrigation product is available
were not processed because of the unavailability of thermal Landsat data.

The collection should be filtered using one or more of the following image
properties:

- aez_id, holding the ID of the AEZ to which the image belongs
- product, describing the WorldCereal product name of the image
- season, describing the season for which the image is valid.

### Code Editor (JavaScript)

```javascript
var dataset = ee.ImageCollection('ESA/WorldCereal/2021/MODELS/v100')

// Set satellite background
Map.setOptions('SATELLITE');

// Typically we'd want to mask the "other" class (value 0)
// in the images
function mask_other(img) {
  return img.updateMask(img.neq(0))
}

// Apply the mask_other function to the collection
dataset = dataset.map(mask_other);
