This data set raster file is the above ground vegetation season length time-series for the period 2000-2016. The data set addresses trends in the season length of land surface vegetation derived from remote sensing observed time series of vegetation indices. The vegetation index used in the indicator is the Plant Phenology Index (PPI, Jin and Eklundh, 2014). PPI is based on the MODIS Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance product (MODIS MCD43 NBAR). The product provides reflectance data for the MODIS “land” bands (1 - 7) adjusted using a bi-directional reflectance distribution function. This function models values as if they were collected from a nadir-view to remove so called cross-track illumination effects. The Plant Phenology Index (PPI) is a new vegetation index optimized for efficient monitoring of vegetation phenology. It is derived from radiative transfer solution using reflectance in visible-red (RED) and near-infrared (NIR) spectral domains. PPI is defined to have a linear relationship to the canopy green leaf area index (LAI) and its temporal pattern is strongly similar to the temporal pattern of gross primary productivity (GPP) estimated by flux towers at ground reference stations. PPI is less affected by presence of snow compared to commonly used vegetation indices such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) or Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI). The product is distributed with 500 m pixel size (MODIS Sinusoidal Grid) with 8-days compositing period.

The EU-DEM is a Digital Surface Model (DSM) representing the first surface as illuminated by the sensors. EU-DEM covers the EEA39 countries and it has been produced by a consortium led by Indra, Intermap edited the EUDEM and AGI provided the water mask. The EU-DEM is a 3D raster dataset with elevations captured at 1 arc second postings (2.78E-4 degrees) or about every 30 meter. It is a hybrid product based on SRTM and ASTER GDEM data fused by a weighted averaging approach. Ownership of EU-DEM belongs to European Commision, DG Enterprise and Industry. The projection onto an Inspire compliant grid of 25m resolution has been performed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.

This colour shaded relief image over Europe has been created using a hillshade dataset derived from the Digital Elevation Model over Europe from the GMES RDA project (EU-DEM) projected to ETRS-LAEA. This dataset cannot be used for analysis purposes and there are some known artefacts West of Norway. The 1000x1000km tiles are provided as GeoTIFF with LZW compression. The mosaic is provided as GeoTIFF with DEFLATE compression. Ownership of EU-DEM belongs to European Commission, DG Enterprise and Industry.

The EU-DEM is generated as a contiguous dataset divided into 1 degree by 1 degree tiles corresponding to the SRTM naming convention. These tiles have then been aggregated into 5°x5° tiles and mosaicked together into a single file by EEA. The vertical unit of this DSM is metre. The 5°x5° tiles are provided as GeoTIFF with LZW compression. The mosaic is provided as GeoTIFF with DEFLATE compression.
