CLMS Land Cover Map (LCM) Global 10m yearly V1 (COG)

Provides at global level information on different types (classes) of physical coverage of the Earth's surface, e.g. tree cover, grasslands, croplands, permanent water bodies, wetlands at 10 m spatial resolution for the 2020 base year. The data are updated annually and will be available for the 2020-2026 years. This dataset builds upon initiatives like the 100 m Copernicus Global Land Cover layers (2015-2019) and offers enhanced spatial detail that facilitates more effective monitoring of global

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Land-cover baseline (tree cover, wetland, water and built-up shares) for EIA and ecology scoping on a site or catchment outside the UK · Built-up and bare-ground fraction context for drainage and runoff screening, cross-checked against UK sources · 2020 to 2026 change screening of tree cover, cropland or built-up areas for land-use change and deforestation reviews
Audience llm-inferred: GIS analysts · hydrologists · ecologists · planners · drainage engineers

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Only the 2020 base year is documented as published; 2021 to 2026 are described as future availability, so confirm which years exist. · Licence is 'other' and points to the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service data policy; check terms before redistribution. · Asset access needs Copernicus Data Space credentials (OIDC or S3), and CREODIAS S3 is requester-pays. · ENTRY auth is null, but the docs list OIDC and S3 auth references. · Reported CRS EPSG:4326 with a 36000x36000 shape does not obviously match a 10 m grid; confirm the native CRS before analysis. · Generic global classes with no UK habitat (e.g. Priority Habitat) or urban/suburban split; UK accuracy is not documented. · Unclassifiable (254, e.g. persistent cloud) and no-data (255) pixels need masking. · Distributed as STAC metadata and COG/ZIP files, not as an MCP server or API.
