For each pixel, the following statistics are calculated: 5th percentile, mean, median, 95th percentile, standard deviation and count.Seasonal Statistics - 6 Band images: band 1 – 5th percentile minimum - robust minimum value for that pixel over the length of the full time series for that season only (percentage + 100) band 2 - mean value for pixel over full time series for that season only (percentage + 100) band 3 – median value for pixel over full time series for that season only (percentage + 100) band 4 – 95th percentile maximum - robust maximum value for that pixel over the length of the full time series for that season only (percentage + 100) band 5 – Standard deviation - the temporal standard deviation of the full time-series for that season only band 6 – Count - the number of observations statistics for that pixel are based on for that season only. The first 4 bands are recorded with a scaling factor of 100 for data management purposes (to ensure there are no negative values in the image). To interpret the values correctly it is necessary to subtract 100 from the values in these bands.Min/Max Statistics - 2 Band images: A two band image is produced for the Min/Max for full time series: band 1 – 5th percentile minimum - robust minimum value for that pixel over the length of the full time series (percentage + 100) band 2 - 95th percentile maximum - robust maximum value for that pixel over the length of the full time series (percentage + 100)Progress Code: superseded&rft.creator=Joint Remote Sensing Research Program &rft.date=2021&rft.edition=1.0&rft.relation=https://www.publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/ad30c88c-185d-4d9a-9971-69968f958a70/resource/350aeffd-ff8f-4876-a12f-7eb8d4e6f991/download/coverundertreesreportrp64gfinal.pdf&rft.relation=https://doi.org/10.1080/14498596.2010.521977&rft.relation=https://doi.org/10.1201/b10275&rft.relation=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2006.09.019&rft.relation=https://doi.org/10.3390/rs5126481&rft.relation=https://doi.org/10.3390/rs5010083&rft.relation=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236022381_Field_measurement_of_fractional_ground_cover&rft.coverage=Queensland&rft.coverage=northlimit=-10.574222; southlimit=-29.036961; westlimit=137.900391; eastLimit=154.643555; projection=EPSG:4326&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0&rft_rights=&rft_rights=Copyright 2010-2021.

Data Creation
Methods: The long-term statistical summary products are derived from the seasonal ground cover product https://portal.tern.org.au/seasonal-ground-cover-australia-coverage/22022, also produced by the QLD DES remote sensing centre. The statistical products are derived from the full time series of imagery available for each season, defined by standard calendar seasons. For each pixel, the following statistics are calculated: 5th percentile, mean, median, 95th percentile, standard deviation and count.
Seasonal Statistics - 6 Band images: band 1 – 5th percentile minimum - robust minimum value for that pixel over the length of the full time series for that season only (percentage + 100)
band 2 - mean value for pixel over full time series for that season only (percentage + 100)
band 3 – median value for pixel over full time series for that season only (percentage + 100)
band 4 – 95th percentile maximum - robust maximum value for that pixel over the length of the full time series for that season only (percentage + 100)
band 5 – Standard deviation - the temporal standard deviation of the full time-series for that season only
band 6 – Count - the number of observations statistics for that pixel are based on for that season only.
The first 4 bands are recorded with a scaling factor of 100 for data management purposes (to ensure there are no negative values in the image). To interpret the values correctly it is necessary to subtract 100 from the values in these bands.

Min/Max Statistics - 2 Band images: A two band image is produced for the Min/Max for full time series:
band 1 – 5th percentile minimum - robust minimum value for that pixel over the length of the full time series (percentage + 100)
band 2 - 95th percentile maximum - robust maximum value for that pixel over the length of the full time series (percentage + 100)

This dataset was produced by the Joint Remote Sensing Research Program (https://www.jrsrp.org.au/) using data sourced from US Geological Survey.
Purpose
These products display the variation of the seasonal ground cover fractions over long term temporal periods (e.g. 1990-2016).
Data Quality Information

Data Quality Assessment Scope
local : dataset
The input imagery was processed to level L1T by the USGS. Geodetic accuracy of the product depends on the image quality and the accuracy, number, and distribution of the ground control points. The fractional cover model was compared to samples drawn from 1500 field reference sites.

Data Quality Assessment Result
local : Quality Result
The USGS aims to provide image-to-image registration with an accuracy of 12m. Refer to the L8 Data Users Handbook for more detail.The fractional cover model achieved an overall model Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 11.6% against field reference sites.
