Core Mapping Services

EUROLAND

The European Land Monitoring Service addresses the local (Urban Atlas) and continental component (high resolution land cover parameters / land cover change data) of the LMCS. More

BioPar

The Biogeophysical Parameters Service produces a series of parameters describing the continental vegetation state, the radiation budget at the surface and the water cycle. More

SATChMo

The Seasonal and Annual Change Monitoring Service provides seasonal to annual European-wide coverage of physical properties describing bio-geophysical information parameters. More

The Core Mapping Services produce basic geo-information on land cover and land use and its annual and seasonal changes as well as a variety of additional biophysical parameters describing the continental vegetation state, the radiation budget at the surface and the water cycle on the basis of satellite Earth observation data.

The mapping products are of broad generic use: besides being a valuable information source in their basic form, they are the basis for more specialised geo-information services.
