CNES Land Cover Map

Description

The CNES Land Cover Map (Occupation des Sols, OSO) produces land classification for Metropolitan France at 10 m spatial resolution based on Sentinel-2 L2A data within the Theia Land Cover CES framework. Maps for 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 use a 23-categories nomenclature. For earlier maps in 2017 and 2016, a fully compatible 17-classes nomenclature is employed.
