Pan-European High Resolution Image Mosaic 2015 - False Colour, Coverage 2 (20 m), Jan. 2020

The pan-European High Resolution (HR) Image Mosaic 2015 provides up to two cloud-free HR optical coverage 2 of EEA39 countries including all islands of those countries plus French Overseas Departments (DOMs) acquired within predefined windows corresponding to the vegetation season in 2014-2015.

Images are derived from the following satellite sensors:

Resourcesat-1/2

SPOT-5

Sentinel-2 MSI

The mosaic primarily is used as input data in the production of various Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) datasets and services, such as land cover maps and high resolution layers on land cover characteristic and can be also useful for CLMS users for visualizations and classifications on land.

The input imagery for the creation of the mosaic is provided by ESA. Due to license restrictions, HR Image Mosaic 2015 is only available as a web service (WMS), and not for data download.

Explanation
See the referenced specification
Statement

Cloud coverage should be less than 5% per country, products are (mostly):

-Without haze

-Snow coverage: only glaciers and perennial snow

-Sun elevation angel higher than 23 degree

Instrument incidence angle has to be less than 20 degree

15 products over Iceland belonging to the Image2006 dataset were discovered to be not correct and have been re-processed and re-distributed by Metria.
