• Global, 30-m resolution continuous fields of tree cover: Landsat-based rescaling of MODIS vegetation continuous fields with lidar-based estimates of error (2013, methodology): “Our 10% RMSE between Landsat and MODIS estimates was approximately double the 5% RMSE reported by Hansen et al. (2002) between MODIS estimates and the Landsat data on which they were based in western Zambia (a dry forest biome).”
