Global land cover data plays an important role in climate change research, geographical conditions monitoring and ecological environment protection. It' s of great significance to produce and evaluate the global land cover data at a specific spatial scale. In 2014, the National Geomatics Center of China (NGCC) produced GlobeLand30 of the remote sensing mapping product with the world’s highest 30 m resolution. In this paper, the 1:100 000 land use data of Henan Province was used as the reference data to validate global land cover data of GlobeLand30, GlobCover2001 and MCD12Q1. The accuracy assessment and comparative analysis of these data were conducted with three methods, including spatial statistics, area relevance and consistency, and confusion matrix. The results show that the three land cover products have a good consistency for description of land forms with the reference data, and the area relevance is higher than 0.9. Cropland and forestland are the main land cover types, followed by grassland, water body and artificial surface, but the classified land has different area in these products. By evaluating accuracy of the three land cover products, the overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of GlobeLand30 are the highest, followed by MCD12Q1 and those of GlobCover2009 are the lowest. In terms of specific land type, although cropland and forestland have high precision in these products, the accuracy of grassland classification is poor. The producer accuracy of water body and artificial surface in GlobeLand30 is much higher than the other two products, but the difference of the user accuracy is small. The three land cover products show the spatial confusion especially in forestland, grassland and cropland with the reference data. The confusion degree of GlobeLand30 is lower than the other two kinds of data. This paper illustrates that GlobeLand30 has higher accuracy than other products and it will play a more and more important role in many fields. Not only can the methods and conclusions in this paper pave the way for further research in other areas, but also they can have great significance on promoting the application and value of GlobeLand30. Moreover, because of the spatial resolution of GlobeLand30 is much higher than other land cover products, the use of GlobeLand30 for further application and research is the focus in the next step. In addition, there are a lot of remote sensing images, vector data, and other multi-source data and how to improve the quality of the global land cover data is one of the problems that should be considered.
