CORINE Land Cover 2012 database of the Netherlands. Land cover of the Netherlands in 2012 based on satellite imagery in combination with ancillary data with reference date around 2012. Land cover mapping according to the CLC class descriptions with minimum mapping unit 25ha.
The CORINE Land Cover (CLC) initiative has a longstanding tradition of providing land cover and land use information over Europe at regular time intervals. Over the past few decades, it gradually became one of the flagship european geospatial datasets. For the 2012 release, the global Monitoring for Environment and Security Programme (GMES, now called Copernicus), established in partnership with the European Commission and the European Space Agency (ESA), provides a unique opportunity to extend the CLC products with a new series of High Resolution (HR) layers, adressing 5 land cover characteristics that will provide valuable complementary information to the CLC datasets (i.e. imperviousness, forest areas, permanent grassland, wetlands and water bodies). The European Environment Agency (EEA) is responsible for the coordination of the pan-European component of GMES Initial Operations (GIO) Land Monitoring 2011-2013 in the framework of regulation (EU) No 911/2010 – Pan-EU Component. As the EEA highly values the cooperation with EIONET members and cooperating countries they were invited to participate in the production of CLC products and verification and enhancement of the HR layers.
