Oxford MAP TCB: Malaria Atlas Project Gap-Filled Tasseled Cap Brightness [deprecated]

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• This dataset provides monthly Tasseled Cap Brightness (TCB) data from 2001 to 2015, derived from MODIS imagery and gap-filled to address cloud cover issues.

• It was produced by the Oxford Malaria Atlas Project and is available at a 5km resolution.

• The dataset includes a "Mean" band representing TCB values and a "FilledProportion" band indicating the percentage of raw data used in each pixel.

• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 and is accessible through Google Earth Engine.

• This dataset is valuable for various applications such as land cover analysis and monitoring environmental changes.

Caution: This dataset has been superseded by projects/malariaatlasproject/assets/TCB_v061/1km/Monthly.

Description

This gap-filled Tasseled Cap Brightness (TCB) dataset was created by applying the tasseled-cap equations defined in Lobser and Cohen (2007) to MODIS BRDF-corrected imagery (MCD43B4). The resulting data were gap-filled using the approach outlined in Weiss et al. (2014) to eliminate missing data caused by factors such as cloud cover, and then the data were aggregated temporally and spatially to produce the monthly ≈5km product.

This dataset was produced by Harry Gibson and Daniel Weiss of the Malaria Atlas Project.
