The Impervious Built-Up (IBU) 2024 layer is part of the High Resolution Layer (HRL) Imperviousness and provides binary information of built-up areas (class 1) and non built-up areas (class 0) for the reference year 2024 as derived from Sentinel-2 image time series. The production of the HRL Imperviousness is coordinated by EEA in the frame of Copernicus, the Earth observation component of the European Union’s Space programme. The product is a raster dataset with 10-meter grid spacing (spatial resolution) that covers the 38 Eionet member and cooperating countries as well as the United Kingdom (i.e. EEA38+UK). It is distributed as 100 x 100 km tiles that are fully conformant with the EEA reference grid.

The Urban Atlas provides pan-European comparable land use and land cover data for Functional Urban Areas (FUA). The Street Tree Layer (STL) is a separate layer from the Urban Atlas 2012 LU/LC layer produced within the level 1 urban mask for each FUA. It includes contiguous rows or a patches of trees covering 500 m² or more and with a minimum width of 10 meter over "Artificial surfaces" (nomenclature class 1) inside FUA (i.e. rows of trees along the road network outside urban areas or forest adjacent to urban areas should not be included). Urban Atlas is a joint initiative of the European Commission Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry 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 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)

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. High Resolution Layer Croplands 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 Cropping Patterns - Fallow Land Presence (CPFLP) raster product provides the yearly fallow land classification indicating if arable land has been left fallow in the respective 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. High Resolution Layer Croplands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. Confidence layer available for the dataset.

This is the metadata covering the Water Layer (WL) product. The WL 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 WL is generated for the 2021 & 2024 reference year. It is a a multi-annual product based on the information covering the period (e.g. 2016-2021). In the context of the HR-WSI, the water and dry frequency masks are derived from intermediate outputs of the WCD workflow, the monthly surface water masks in combination with the WIC S2 NRT product. It provides detailed information about the presence and condition of water surfaces across Europe. There are 5 major classes like: - Dry (always or mostly dry with minor instances of wet) - permanent water (always contains water) - temporary water ( temporary water surfaces, aliteration of dry and water) - sea water (oceans and sea) - clouds It is also generated in different spatial resolutions (10m and 100m) and projections (LAEA & WGS84/UTM). The High Resolution Water Layer portfolio consists of the WL, the Water Presence Index (WPI), the Water confidence layer (WCL) and the Rolling archive (WLRA). The WL is provided in a package (zip) containing the WL, the WPI and the WCL: The WCL is displaying a measure of confidence between 0 and 100%. It identifies the likelihood of (in)correctness on pixel level based on information gained during production for the WL for the respective reference year. It is also generated in different spatial resolutions (10m and 100m) and projections (LAEA & WGS84/UTM). The Water Presence Index (WPI) product 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 WPI is generated for the 2021 reference year. It is a a multi-annual product based on the information covering a7-year period (e.g. 2016-2021). In the context of the HR-WSI, the water and dry frequency masks are derived from intermediate outputs of the WCD workflow, the monthly surface water masks in combination with the WIC S2 NRT product. It provides detailed information about the presence and condition of water surfaces across Europe.
