Metadata

Relation:
Parent data set:  Corine land cover 2000 (CLC2000) 100 m - version 9/2007
Temporal coverage:
Last upload:
28 Aug 2007
Scale of the data set:
1:100000
Rights:
European Commission - DG JRC, Ispra, 2007
Methodology:

Each pixel value is the estimated density of inhab/km2. Note however that a pixel is 100 m x 100 m, ie 1 hectare. The pixel value should hence be divided by 100 in order not to overestimate the population density. The data is in integer values.
