Land Cover 2020 (raster 10 m), global, annual - version 1

This product is delivered by the Copernicus Global Land Cover and Tropical Forest Mapping and Monitoring service (LCFM), part of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS), and provides global land cover data at 10-meter resolution for the year 2020.

The LCM-10 product builds upon previous initiatives like the 100m Copernicus Global Land Cover layers (2015-2019). This product offers enhanced spatial detail that facilitates more effective monitoring of global land cover changes, including deforestation, urbanization, and other environmental transformations.

The LCM-10 comprises three main layers:
- Map layer - The core product providing a discrete classification map at 10m resolution. It denotes the dominant land cover class for each pixel across 11 primary classes as defined using the Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). These classes include Tree cover, Shrubland, Grassland, Cropland, Built-up, Bare/sparse vegetation, Snow and ice, Permanent water bodies, Herbaceous wetland, Mangroves, and Moss and lichen.
- Probability layer - This layer provides Land Cover Class Probabilities at 10m resolution for each class, scaled between 0 and 1. These probabilities indicate either temporal occurrence or probability of the respective land cover class, offering users more nuanced information beyond the discrete classification.
- Continuous Land Cover Map layer - An RGB representation of per-pixel land cover class colors weighted by the associated probabilities, providing a more gradual visualization of transitions between land cover types.
