Technique
					
						 
					
					
					This mosaic is built from Landsat GeoCover 2000, 15-metre false colour 
data (7,4,2 channels).
					
					 
					
					
						After several treatments allowing to rebuild the RGB (3,2,1) channels,
						a colour treatment, which uses the RGB channels of the true-colour 
Global Mosaic image, and a series of manual treatments are used
					
					
					 
					
					
						in order to get homogeneous colours and reduce the cloud cover percentage,
 for underwater lands as well as oceans and coastlines.
						This allows to combine accuracy and homogeneity of the GeoCover (7,4,2) mosaic, while obtaining a very realistic result in true colours.
