European Ground Motion Service: Basic 2020-2024 (vector), Europe, yearly, Nov. 2025
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 the first product level of EGMS: Basic.
EGMS Basic delivers InSAR displacement data in the satellite Line-of-Sight (LOS), accompanied by annotated geolocation and quality indicators for each measurement point. It is derived from full-resolution interferometric analysis of Sentinel-1 radar imagery and includes LOS velocity maps for both ascending and descending orbits. Each measurement is referenced to a local point within the processing unit, meaning ground motion values are only meaningful within that unit and cannot be directly compared across adjacent units.
EGMS Basic is visualised as a vector map of measurement points, colour-coded by average LOS velocity, and distributed in comma-separated values (CSV) format. Each point includes a displacement time series, representing ground motion values for each Sentinel-1 acquisition over the monitoring period.
The dataset was processed between March and November 2025.

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.

- See the referenced specification
- Statement
- The Basic product has been produced by means of harmonised and tested multi-temporal satellite interferometric techniques able to detect both persistent and distributed scatterer targets. Data are produced from Sentinel-1 images at full resolution with temporal sampling of 12 days. Data are automatically quality controlled vis-à-vis technical requirements during the production.
