And it is the first truly cloud free mosaic with no residual clouds even in critical areas in the tropics.
The Green Marble represents the surface color at the local vegetation maximum or snow/ice minimum at any part of the planet - hence the name. So in total it does not show any particular point of time but instead shows a generalized typical appearance of the earth surface. (...)
