GLOBAL COMPONENT
HOT SPOT MONITORING (JRC)
PAN-EUROPEAN COMPONENT
In the Pan-European component of Copernicus, Telespazio Ibérica has been in charge of the validation and QC of two of the flagship products for improving the management of urban development and the environment on the continent:
HRL FOREST
- Tree cover density dataset maps
- Forest type product
- Change Layer
All of them are made from satellite images and through a combination of automatic processing and interactive rule-based classification.
HRL IMPERVIOUSNESS
The High Resolution Layer Imperviousness captures the spatial distribution of artificially impervious areas, including the level of soil sealing per unit area. The Imperviousness soil level (degree of impermeability 1-100%) is generated using a semi-automatic classification, based on calibrated NDVI. Telespazio Ibérica has been in charge of validating the results of this product.
LOCAL COMPONENT
URBAN ATLAS
RIPARIAN AREAS
The Riparian Zones LC/LU product provides a detailed LC/LU data set for areas along a set of selected rivers covering the 39 EEA member countries and cooperating countries. This provides a consistent and very high resolution delineation and characterisation of the riparian zones (RZ) of major and medium rivers for most of Europe and Turkey based on 2.5m spatial resolution optical satellite images.
Telespazio Ibérica has been participating since 2017 in the generation of this product, whose information can be viewed and/or downloaded from the viewer that the Copernicus programme has made available for its dissemination.
NATURA 2000
The status layer of N2K, in whose production Telespazio Ibérica has participated, differentiates 55 thematic classes LC/LU for an approximate total surface of 523,000 km2.
