The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) of Envisat environmental satellite produced a new map of Earth's surface. ESA is responsible for the production of the MERIS 300 m Full Resolution Full Swath (FRS) products. The map data can be used to study the land-cover trends, ecosystem, and climate change. The online information about the map can be found on the map server tool on ESA's GlobCover web site. The GlobCover products provide the detailed information of land cover and land surface. These information are useful for studying sustainable management of natural resources, environmental protection, food security, climate change, and humanitarian programs. The GlobCover is able to provide maps of croplands, wetlands, forest, artificial surfaces, water bodies, snow, and ices. The GlobCover has a GlobCover software, the execution environment, and the associated hardware.
