European Ground Motion Service: GNSS model 2015-2020 (vector), Europe, 2-yearly, Jul. 2022

The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) is a component of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. EGMS provides consistent, regular, standardised, harmonised and reliable information regarding natural and anthropogenic ground motion phenomena over the Copernicus Participating States and across national borders, with millimetre accuracy. This set of metadata describes the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) model used to calibrate the EGMS Calibrated product (https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/dbc229ee-b94e-44e1-b0db-9bc57076bef1). This layer is produced based on GNSS data from various sources, with the EUREF Densification network as the main entry point. After filtering and quality control, a total of 3770 stations are used to generate the GNSS model which contains average velocities in east, north and up directions displayed on a 50-km grid. The grid dimension is determined by the average distance between well-maintained GNSS stations over continental Europe. The GNSS model is distributed to users in a single comma-separated values file. Each cell of the model is associated to a value of vertical and horizontal velocity. The product covers the Copernicus Participating States (except for DROMs) and United Kingdom.
