Data

Data Level of compliance Note Information costs Handling costs Created on Last updated on
High Resolution Layer - Permanent Water Bodies (PWB) and Wetlands (WET) 2012 Partially Only available for the reference year 2012. May 6, 2020, 10:17 p.m. Sept. 16, 2021, 12:36 p.m.
Ramsar Sites Information Service (RSIS) Partially Only covers wetlands designated under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. GIS data only available for some wetlands. May 6, 2020, 10:27 p.m. Sept. 16, 2021, 12:36 p.m.
INSPIRE Annex II: Land cover Partially The level of compliance of the Dataset must be verify case by case. Coverage could be not complete. Number of thematic classes could be lower than specified in the requirement section. The timeliness could be higher than required. Dec. 18, 2020, 8:41 a.m. Sept. 16, 2021, 12:36 p.m.
High Resolution Layers - Water & Wetness Partially The main Water and Wetness (WAW) product has defined classes of (1) permanent water, (2) temporary water, (3) permanent wetness and (4) temporary wetness. There is an additional expert product: Water & Wetness Probability Index (WWPI). The products show the occurrence of water and indicate the degree of wetness in a physical sense, assessed independently of the actual vegetation cover and are thus not limited to a specific land cover class and their relative frequencies.
