DSM is collected by laser scanning from aircraft (LiDAR). The elevation model is constantly updated, approx. 1/5 a year. Data contains information about when an area has flown. The point cloud has an average density of 4-5 points / m2 for data collected in 2014/15 and 8 points / m2 for data from 2018 onwards. The point cloud is classified and only points located on surface form the basis for this dataset. The point cloud is converted into a grid with a size of 0.4 meters. Specifications: Horizontal 0.15 meters, Vertical 0.05 meters.

Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110 million scales (1:10m version is stored in the EEA-SDI). Featuring tightly integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth one can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software. Natural Earth was built through a collaboration of many volunteers and is supported by NACIS (North American Cartographic Information Society), and is free for use in any type of project. This dataset is composed of satellite-derived land cover data and shaded relief presented with a light, natural palette suitable for making thematic and reference maps.

Orthophotos are aerial photos where each pixel is adjusted according to the camera's position and the elevation model of the ground surface. In this way, an orthophoto is created that is angular and true to scale. This allows distances to be measured in the images, just as you can in a map with a fixed scale. The orthophoto is post-processed in terms of colour, contrast and lighting conditions, in particular to remove visible transitions between the individual images. Go to ->https://listservices.kortforsyningen.dk/#/map/WMS/oi_inspire<- to see the orthophoto of Denmark.

The high resolution forest product consists of three types of (status) products and additional change products. The status products are available for the 2012, 2015 and 2018 reference years: 1. Tree cover density providing level of tree cover density in a range from 0-100%; 2. Dominant leaf type providing information on the dominant leaf type: broadleaved or coniferous; 3. A Forest type product. The forest type product allows to get as close as possible to the FAO forest definition. In its original (20m) resolution it consists of two products: 1) a dominant leaf type product that has a MMU of 0.5 ha, as well as a 10% tree cover density threshold applied, and 2) a support layer that maps, based on the dominant leaf type product, trees under agricultural use and in urban context (derived from CLC and high resolution imperviousness 2009 data). For the final 100m product trees under agricultural use and urban context from the support layer are removed. The high resolution forest change products comprise a simple tree cover density change product for 2012-2015 (% increase or decrease of real tree cover density changes). The production of the high resolution forest layers was coordinated by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.

The Copernicus High Resolution Forest Layer Tree Cover Change Mask (TCCM) 2015-2018 raster product provides information on the change between the reference years 2015 and 2018 and consists of 4 thematic classes (unchanged areas with no tree cover / new tree cover / loss of tree cover / unchanged areas with tree cover) at 20m spatial resolution and covers EEA38 area and the United Kingdom. The production of the High Resolution Forest layers was coordinated by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme. The High Resolution Forest product consists of three types of (status) products and additional change products. The status products are available for the 2012, 2015 and 2018 reference years: 1.
