The High Resolution Layer Herbaceous cover (HER) raster product provides a basic land cover classification with 2 thematic classes (temporal and permanent herbaceous / non-herbaceous). The production of the herbaceous layer is primarily based on the probability estimates obtained from the Base Vegetation Layer (BVL) which also serves to harmonize the different vegetated HRL products (Grasslands, Tree Cover and Forests, Croplands). HER is further used as input for the Grassland status layer (GRA) extracting the permanent herbaceous in combination with the Ploughing indicator (PLOUGH). 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 Grasslands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)

This metadata covers the Water Cover Duration (WCD) product which is one of the products of the pan-European High-Resolution Water Snow & Ice portfolio (HR-WSI), which are provided at high spatial resolution from the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 constellations data from September 1, 2016 onwards. The High Resolution Water Layer portfolio consists of the Water Layer (WL), the Water Presence Index (WPI), the Water confidence layer (WCL) and the Rolling archive (WLRA). The WCD is generated on a yearly basis, starting in 2017 (01.09 to 30.08 each year), and is published in October. It provides an estimated number of days during which the area was covered by water for each pixel within the entire EEA-38+UK region. The product is derived from data obtained from the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites, as well as from the Sentinel-2 Water and Ice Cover (WIC S2) product. The product has a spatial resolution of 10m x 10m and 100 m x 100 m, is delivered in LAEA and WGS84/UTM projection and is updated on an annual basis. This methodology results in a high-quality WCD information layer. The WCD product represents one of the two water products within the overall WSI product portfolio, which includes not only water but also snow and ice data.

The High Resolution Layer Grassland Mowing Events (GRAME) raster product provides a basic land cover classification containing respectively the number of grassland mowing events within the detected Herbaceous cover layer (temporal and permanent grassland)) with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.25 ha. The GRAME product will flag and map the number of mowing events (1, 2, 3, or 4+) on temporary or permanent grassland detected per 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. High Resolution Layer Grasslands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. Confidence layer available for the dataset. This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)

The High Resolution Layer Ploughing indicator (PLOUGH) raster product continues the 2015 and 2018 PLOUGH Layer following a rolling archive principle by adding current information and removing historic years. It indicates the number of years since the last indication of ploughing within the permanent grassland area. PLOUGH is derived by taking into account the series of binary HER layers, the BVL classifications and HR VPP PPI (Plant Phenology Index) quantiles. BVL classes 4 (crop) and 7 (overlaying layer between herbaceous and crop) indicate a ploughing event. Low HR VPP PPI quantiles indicate low vegetation at a certain time of the year. For years with missing information (2016 and earlier) the ploughing information from the historic PLOUGH product is considered which causes some issues. 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 Grasslands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)

High Resolution Layer Croplands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)

The Coastal Zones (CZ) LC/LU product for 2018 is providing a detailed Land Cover / Land Use (LC/ LU) dataset for areas along the coastline of the EEA38 countries and the United Kingdom, with reference year 2018 for the classification. This product monitors landscape dynamics in European coastal territory to an inland depth of 10 km with a total area of approximately 730,000 km², with all the relevant areas (estuaries, coastal lowlands, nature reserves). The production of the coastal zone layers was coordinated by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme, as part of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) Local Component. The Coastal Zones product covers a buffer zone of coastline derived from EU-Hydro v1.1. Land Cover/Land Use (LC/LU) layer is extracted from Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite data and other available data. The class definitions follow the pre-defined nomenclature on the basis of Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) typology of ecosystems (Level 1 to Level 4) and CORINE Land Cover adapted to the specific characteristics of coastal zones. The classification provides 71 distinct thematic classes with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.5 ha and a Minimum Mapping Width (MMW) of 10 m. The product is available for the 2012 and 2018 reference year including change mapping. This CZ dataset is distributed in vector format, in a single OGC GeoPackage SQLite file covering the area of interest.
