COPERNICUS Remote Sensing data

External Data Spec Published 07 Nov 2016

The pan-European component is coordinated by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and produces satellite image mosaics, land cover / land use (LC/LU) information in the CORINE Land Cover data, and the High Resolution Layers. The CORINE Land Cover is provided for 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012. This vector-based dataset includes 44 land cover and land use classes. The time-series also includes a land-change layer, highlighting changes in land cover and land-use. The high-resolution layers (HRL) are raster-based datasets which provides information about different land cover characteristics and is complementary to land-cover mapping (e.g. CORINE) datasets. Five HRLs describe some of the main land cover characteristics: impervious (sealed) surfaces (e.g. roads and built up areas), forest areas, (semi-) natural grasslands, wetlands, and permanent water bodies. The High-Resolution Image Mosaic is a seamless pan-European ortho-rectified raster mosaic based on satellite imagery covering 39 countries.

Estimated soil erosion by wind on European arable land Soil loss rates by wind (tonnes per hectare per year) on arable land, estimated by the GIS-RWEQ model for 1.17 million cells (of ca. 1 km spatial resolution, into which the arable land of the 28 European Union Member States was subdivided) (Borrelli et al., 2016).

Estimated soil erosion by water in Europe Soil loss rates (tonnes per hectare per year) calculated based on a modified version of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model (RUSLE 2015) for the reference year 2010 (100 m spatial resolution).
