It has the target to deliver a yearly, global land cover map which primarily will be based on PROBA-V – and later to be merged and replaced by Sentinel-2 satellite sources. Currently (2020), a dataset with near global coverage has been released with a 100m grid resolution. The map represents 2015 land cover and was derived from PROBA-V time series combined with local land cover training datasets as well as ancillary datasets. | ||

The data are available directly from within windPRO. The data can be accessed from the online-services in the following objects: | |||
* Line Object (with purpose set to 'roughness lines') - '''this is the recommended access method''' | |||
* Area Object (with purpose set to 'roughness map based on closed lines') | |||
Please note: Data stored in the 'Area Object' can be (fairly) easily edited by changing the legend / lookup-table definitions - as this data-type preserves the original metadata (land cover groups). This is not possible when loading roughness-lines data directly in the line object. | |||

# We recommend loading the data directly into a line-object (due to better line-merging) | |||
# For use with an area-object, please consider to reduce the size to 40kmx40km as data-downloading and processing time otherwise in the order of ~10 minutes. | |||

The CGLS-LC100 is a dynamic land cover map at 100m resolution and a part of the product portfolio for the Copernicus Global Land Service (CGLS) see [1]. It has the target to deliver a yearly, global land cover map which primarily will be based on PROBA-V – and later to be merged and replaced by Sentinel-2 satellite sources. Currently (2020), a dataset with near global coverage has been released with a 100m grid resolution. The map represents 2015 land cover and was derived from PROBA-V time series combined with local land cover training datasets as well as ancillary datasets.
Dataset Overview
- Spatial Coverage: Global
- Resolution: 100 m.
- Data Type: Land Cover / Land Use Mapping - with roughness length mapping by EMD (lookup table)
- Versions:
- 2015-Global: Current version in windPRO
- 2015-Africa-Demo: Preliminary demonstration dataset covering Africa (now discontinued in windPRO)
- Thematic Accuracy: 80.1% +/-0.7% (see User manual, [2])
- Updates: A yearly release is planned.
Validation
The product user manual in its version 1 from 2017 [3] holds data from the product validation from the Africa demonstration dataset. Here a comparison against other available global land cover maps is reported. Based on data from 3887 reference points, the CGLS-LS100 data come out with the best overall agreement to the ‘ground truth’ data. The overall agreement is as follows:
Dataset Name | Overall Agreement |
---|---|
GlobCover 2009 | 50.8% |
LC-CCI 2010 | 55.5% |
MODIS 2010 | 63.0% |
Globeland 2010 | 57.2% |
CGLS-LC100 | 66.0% |
Availability from within windPRO
The data are available directly from within windPRO. The data can be accessed from the online-services in the following objects:
- Line Object (with purpose set to 'roughness lines') - this is the recommended access method
- Area Object (with purpose set to 'roughness map based on closed lines')
Please note: Data stored in the 'Area Object' can be (fairly) easily edited by changing the legend / lookup-table definitions - as this data-type preserves the original metadata (land cover groups). This is not possible when loading roughness-lines data directly in the line object.
Usage Notes
- Always make a manual evaluation and adjustment of the roughness lengths obtained from this dataset; they are based on a simplified lookup table (as seen below) and you may find that any in-situ values will differ from the model values obtained from the lookup table.
- If you want to modify the values obtained: Load the data into a windPRO area object.
- We recommend loading the data directly into a line-object (due to better line-merging)
- For use with an area-object, please consider to reduce the size to 40kmx40km as data-downloading and processing time otherwise in the order of ~10 minutes.
