European Ground Motion Service: Calibrated 2016-present (vector), Europe, yearly, Aug. 2022

The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), part of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service, provides consistent, regular, standardised, harmonised, and reliable information on natural and anthropogenic ground motion phenomena across Copernicus Participating States and national borders, with millimetre-level accuracy.

This metadata describes EGMS Calibrated, which represents the second level of the EGMS portfolio and is considered the primary product due to its broad applicability. Unlike EGMS Basic, Calibrated provides absolute measurements, referenced to a model derived from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data. This calibration enables direct comparison of ground motion measurements across adjacent areas and between different products of the same level.

EGMS Calibrated is delivered as a vector map of measurement points, each colour-coded by average velocity. Data is distributed in comma-separated values (CSV) format. Each point includes a displacement time series, representing ground motion values per satellite acquisition. The product is available for both ascending and descending satellite orbits.

EGMS Calibrated is delivered to users on an annual basis, following a five-year moving window update strategy. This means that after the Baseline/first update (2016-2021), the following data periods are available: 2018-2022, 2019-2023 and 2020-2024.

The Copernicus component is governed by Regulation (EU) No 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing the Union Space Programme and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and repealing Regulations (EU) No 912/2010, (EU) No 1285/2013 and (EU) No 377/2014 and Decision No 541/2014/EU. Within the Copernicus component, a portfolio of land monitoring activities has been delegated by the European Union to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the DG Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.

The Copernicus land monitoring products and services are made available on a principle of full, open and free access, as established by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013.

Free, full and open access to the products and services of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service is made on the conditions that:

1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services (data, software scripts, web services, user and methodological documentation and similar) to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of these products and services.

2. Where the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services have been adapted or modified by the user, the user shall clearly state this.

3. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the European Union.

Explanation

Statement
EGMS Calibrated is produced by anchoring EGMS Basic on a reference velocity model derived from global navigation satellite system data. The model is transformed into the reference frame of the interferometric data, projected to the radar line-of-sight, interpolated at each measurement point, and used to provide the information needed to harmonise the information carried by EGMS Basic.
