CORINE Land Cover Accounting Layers
Short description
The CORINE Land Cover (CLC) Accounting Layers are CLC status layers modified for the purpose of consistent statistical analysis in the land cover change accounting system at EEA. The modification combines CLC status and change layers in the 100m raster form in order to create homogeneous quality time series of CLC / CLC-change layers for accounting purposes. The CLC inventory consists of 44 land cover and land use classes derived from a series of satellite missions since it was first established. There are altogether 5 mapping inventories implemented since 1986, producing five status layers (CLC1990, CLC2000, CLC2006, CLC2012, CLC2018), 4 CLC-Change layers for the corresponding periods (1990-2000, 2000-2006, 2006-2012, 2012-2018) and 4 CLC accounting layers for 2000, 2006, 2012 and 2018.Band information
TheCLC-ACC band values correspond to a land cover and land use classification scheme with class values ranging from 111 to 999. Please see the nomenclature and coloring scheme in the table below. For more details about the classes, please see the official CORINE Land Cover nomenclature guidelines or the illustrated nomenclature guidelines document. A visualisation script can be found in our custom scripts repository.Table 2: CORINE Land Cover nomenclature and colouring scheme.
