Water Seasonality (2014-2019)

The Water Seasonality product provides information concerning the intra-annual behavior of water surfaces. It separates 'permanent' water bodies (those that are present throughout the period of observation) [nominally a year] from 'seasonal' (those that are present for only part of the year); the degree of seasonality is also represented (i.e. the proportion of the total number of observed months in which water is present).

The permanent water is represented in dark blue and areas of seasonal water are shown in lighter blue (the data are scaled from 1 month to 12 months each year).
