Pan-European High Resolution Image Mosaic 2012 - True Colour, Coverage 2 (5 m), June 2015

The pan-European High Resolution (HR) Image Mosaic 2012 provides HR1 (High Resolution: 5 meter) coverage over Europe.

The surface covered by the image dataset is 5.8 million square kilometres and has a spatial resolution of 5 meters. The imagery is composed during specific acquisition windows in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Coverage 2 acquisitions are expected to be 6 weeks away from Coverage 1, down to a minimum of 2 weeks for northern countries, including United Kingdom. The ± 6 weeks criteria might not be strictly applied over Atlantic Islands and French DOMs (seasonal changes are limited in the equatorial DOMs). Images are derived from the following satellite sensors:

RapidEye constellation

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 2012 is only available as a web service (WMS), and not for data download.

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.

Statement

Original narrow and extended acquisition windows have been progressively reviewed in 2012 and in 2013, in order to meet user requirements:

• Cloud coverage: ≤ 5% per country.

• 20m RMSE/ Geolocation accuracy after orthorectification. Exception is made for mountainous areas such as the Alps and the Pyrenees where slope angles are > 10%.

In addition products should mostly be:

• Without haze

• Snow coverage < 10%: [only for glaciers/perennial snow]

• Instrument incidence/Pointing angle < 30%.

Note: SPOT products are:

• Not atmospherically corrected

• 1% saturated pixels.

Two Step Resampling is applied i.e. the 6.5 meter raw data are orthorectified with a single resampling step to 5 meters resolution in UTM projection.
