This product contains a global GeoZarr mosaic of the AlphaEarth Foundations annual Satellite Embedding dataset, from 2017 to 2025.
A global mosaic of Google AlphaEarth Foundations Satellite Embeddings, covering 2017-2025 at ~0.00009° resolution. The dataset is projected in EPSG:4326 with a fixed pixel size in degrees. This means that pixels cover ~10m on the ground at the equator, but less area at higher latitudes. For area-based analysis, consider reprojecting to an equal-area projection, creating your own mosaic in a custom CRS, or using the underlying COGs which are already projected to UTM. This copy is not officially supported by Google.
This dataset implements the following Zarr conventions. These Zarr conventions are not mature and may change.
This dataset is licensed under CC-BY 4.0 and requires the following attribution text: "The AlphaEarth Foundations Satellite Embedding dataset is produced by Google and Google DeepMind."
