Planet NICFI Monthly maps (Natural& False color)
Description of the layer
True Color: Planet’s high-resolution, analysis-ready mosaics of the world’s tropics procured by Norway´s International Climate & Forests Initiative (NICFI). These are <5 m/px mosaics of the tropics with monthly cadence from August 2020 onwards ( and an Archive from December 2015 - August 2020 of Bi-Annual mosaics). These ‘true-color’ mosaics represent spatially accurate data with minimised haze, illumination, and topographic effects

False color: Planet’s high-resolution, analysis-ready mosaics of the world’s tropics procured by Norway´s International Climate & Forests Initiative (NICFI). These are <5 m/px mosaics of the tropics with monthly cadence from August 2020 onwards ( and an Archive from December 2015 - August 2020 of Bi-Annual mosaics). The ‘false-color’ mosaic offers a better understanding of the vegetation as it uses the Near Infrared (NIR) band.
