The data were generated from five years of consecutive growing season WELD weekly composite inputs from April 15, 2006, to November 17, 2010. WELD data are created using Landsat Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) Terrain Corrected data. This product includes data about tree cover loss and bare ground gain, which are composited over the five year period. WELD LCLUC is distributed in Hierarchical Data Format 4 (HDF4).

The WELD project is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and is a collaboration between the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center and the South Dakota State University (SDSU) Geospatial Sciences Center of Excellence (GSCE).
