What is inside Dynamic World dataset?

Hello! I ordered U.S. land cover data from data.nextgis.com and received three rasters: ESRI Land Cover, ESA Land Cover, and Dynamic World.
My understanding is that Dynamic World is a model/product derived from Sentinel-2 imagery rather than a single static dataset. Could you clarify what exactly is included in your Dynamic World raster?

Hello Kate,

Great question, thank you. You’re right: Dynamic World is a model rather than a dataset. For data.nextgis.com, we generate a one-calendar-year aggregation: for each pixel, the land cover class detected most frequently during the year is assigned as the final value.

Thank you, Eduard. It’s clear now. I’ll try using the DW data then.
