GLCC (Global Land Cover Characteristics) is a static dataset:

http://edc2.usgs.gov/glcc/globdoc2_0.php

We have just reformatted it in netCDF and you can find our file at:

http://clima-dods.ictp.it/regcm4/SURFACE/GLCC_BATS_30s.nc

If you plan to have a scenario run with dynamical land use, you should
use the latest RegCM (4.4-rc32), compile the model with CLM45 + CN +
DYNPFT (see makeinc file) and download a scenario for land use in

http://clima-dods.ictp.it/regcm4/CLM45/surface/dynamic
