Seasonal Ground Cover Summary Statistics - Landsat, JRSRP Algorithm Version 3.0, Queensland Coverage

The Seasonal Ground Cover Summary Statistics datasets provide long-term statistical summaries derived from the seasonal ground cover v3 data, calculated separately for each fraction. Two distinct product types are available, differentiated by their seasonal aggregation and statistical content.

  1. Seasonal Statistics per Fraction (Product Code: dpi)For each season and ground cover fraction, a separate raster image is generated for the full time series of available imagery. Each image includes the following statistical layers: include:band 1 – 5th percentile minimum;band 2 – mean value for pixel over full time series;band 3 – median value for pixel over full time series;band 4 – 95th percentile maximum;band 5 – Standard deviation - the temporal standard deviation of the full time-series;band 6 – Count - the number of observations statistics for that pixel are based on.
  2. All-Seasons Percentile Summary (Product Code: dph)This product summarises the 5th and 95th percentiles across all seasons for each ground cover fraction. It is delivered as a 2-band image, capturing the overall long-term minimum and maximum percentiles across the full time series (currently 1990-2020).

Version 4 update: Dataset filenames have been revised to now include fraction and season tags, replacing multiple stage codes. Related products are grouped under a single code for improved clarity and usability. Additionally, band values are now expressed as percentages (0–100) to match the parent seasonal ground cover dataset, rather than using the previous percent + 100 scaling.
