The CCI Land Cover team is proud to announce the successful development of a prototype high resolution LC map at 20m over Africa based on 1 year of Sentinel-2A observations. The product is distributed in GeoTIFF format with a size of approximatively 6GB together with the colour legend. Please ensure that you have the appropriate internet connection and computer capacity. Please be aware that this prototype map is the first step of the production of a land cover map at 20 m for Africa. The prototype is made available in order to collect user feedbacks for the necessary improvements.
The present product is made available to the public by ESA and the consortium. You may use S2 prototype LC 20m map of Africa 2016 for educational and/or scientific purposes, without any fee on the condition that you credit the ESA Climate Change Initiative and in particular its Land Cover project as the source of the CCI-LC database:
