This metadata refers to the Quality Flag (QFLAG2) dataset, one of the near real-time (NRT) Vegetation Index products of the pan-European High Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP), component of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS). The Quality Flag (QFLAG2) is a quality indicator that assists users with the screening of clouds, shadows from clouds and topography, other dark areas, snow and water surfaces in their analysis of the four related Vegetation Indices datasets: the Plant Phenology Index (PPI), the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), the Leaf Area Index (LAI) and the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR). The QFLAG2 dataset is made available as raster files with 10 x 10m resolution, in UTM/WGS84 projection corresponding to the Sentinel-2 tiling grid, for those tiles that cover the EEA38 countries and the United Kingdom and for the period from October 2016 until today, with daily updates.

The High Resolution Layer Cropping Patterns - Secondary Crop Duration (CPSCD) raster product provides the duration (in days) of the cover crop season (can exceed the calendar year). This dataset is provided annually starting in 2017 with 10 meter rasters (fully conformant with the EEA reference grid) in 100 x 100 km tiles covering the EEA38 countries.

This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)

The High Resolution Layer Cropping Patterns - Secondary Crop Emergence (CPSCE) raster product provides the date of emergence of the cover crop in days of the year (DOY). YYDOY where YY = last 2 digits of the year (e.g. 19 for 2019) and DOY is the day of the year (1-365) This dataset is provided annually starting in 2017 with 10 meter rasters (fully conformant with the EEA reference grid) in 100 x 100 km tiles covering the EEA38 countries. High Resolution Layer Croplands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. Confidence layer available for the dataset.

The Seasonal Productivity (SPROD), one of the Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (VPP) parameters, is a product of the pan-European High Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP) component of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS). The Seasonal Productivity (SPROD), or small integral, is the growing season integral that is computed as the sum of all daily Plant Phenology Index (PPI) values between the dates of the season start (SOSD) and end (EOSD), minus their base level value. The Plant Phenology Index (PPI) is a physically based vegetation index, developed for improving the monitoring of the vegetation growth cycle. The PPI index values, with 5-day satellite revisit cycle, are first used in a function fitting to derive the PPI Seasonal Trajectories, which is a filtered time series with regular 10-day time step. From these Seasonal Trajectories, a suite of 13 Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (VPP) parameters are then computed and provided, for up to two seasons each year. The Seasonal Productivity is one of the 13 parameters. A complementary quality indicator (QFLAG) provides a confidence level, that is described in table 4 of the same manual. The SPROD dataset is made available as raster files with 10 x 10m resolution, in UTM/WGS84 projection corresponding to the Sentinel-2 tiling grid, for those tiles that cover the EEA38 countries and the United Kingdom and for two seasons in each year from 2017 onwards. It is updated in the first quarter of each year.

The European Urban Atlas provides reliable, inter-comparable, high-resolution land use and land cover data for 785 Functional Urban Area (FUA) for the 2012 reference year in EEA38 countries (EU, EFTA and Western Balkan countries as well as Türkiye) and United Kingdom. The spatial data can be downloaded together with a map for each FUA covered and a report with the metadata for the respective area. Urban Atlas is a joint initiative of the Commission Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DEFIS) in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme, with the support of the European Space Agency and the European Environment Agency.

The High Resolution Layer Grassland Mowing Dates (GRAMD) raster product provides at pan-European level in the spatial resolution of 10 m a basic land cover classification, flagging and mapping the start date (DOY) (GRAMD) within the detected Herbaceous cover layer (temporal and permanent grassland)) with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.25 ha. The GRAMD product will flag and map the dates (Day of Year) of each mowing event on temporary or permanent grassland per year, resulting in a product split in four different rasters per year. This dataset is provided annually starting with 2017 in 10 meter rasters (fully conformant with the EEA reference grid) in 100 x 100 km tiles covering the EEA38 countries. High Resolution Layer Grasslands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)

The High Resolution Layer Cropping Patterns - Main Crop Harvest (CPMCH) raster product provides the harvest date of the main (annual) crop expressed in days of the year (DOY). The harvest is considered as the time of removal of most of the biomass. YYDOY where YY = last 2 digits of the year (e.g. 19 for 2019) and DOY is the day of the year (1-365) This dataset is provided annually starting in 2017 with 10 meter rasters (fully conformant with the EEA reference grid) in 100 x 100 km tiles covering the EEA38 countries.
