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

The pan-European Very High Resolution (VHR) Image Mosaic 2012 provides optical VHR2 (Very High Resolution: > 1m and <= 4m) coverage over Europe. The surface covered by the image dataset is 7,3 million square kilometres and has a spatial resolution of 2,5 m. The acquisition window of the imagery is January 2011 to December 2013. Images are derived from the following satellite sensors: • SPOT-5 at 2.5m pan-sharpened • SPOT-6 at 1.5 m pan-sharpened • FORMOSAT-2 at 2m pan-sharpened 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, VHR Image Mosaic 2012 is only available as a web service (WMS), and not for data download.
