Description
European crop type maps based on Sentinel-1 and LUCAS Copernicus 2018 in-situ observations for 2018, and a combination of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and auxiliary data with LUCAS Copernicus 2022 observations for 2022.
Based on the unique LUCAS 2018 Copernicus in-situ survey, this dataset represents the first EU-scale crop type map at 10m resolution, which was derived exclusively from S1A and S1B synthetic aperture radar observations. The 2022 dataset continues this effort using a multi-source approach that combines Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery with temperature and elevation data, supported by LUCAS 2022 observations.
