Elevation Breakdown based on EU-DEM (resolution 100m), Dec. 2016
This layer defines homogeneous areas as function of height, slope and distance to the sea. The Elevation Breakdown is used to allocate Land Cover Changes into homogeneous areas as function of height, slope and distance to the sea. It defines five relief typologies: 1) Low coasts, 2) High Coasts, 3) Inlands, 4) Uplands and 4) Mountains. The previous enumeration corresponds to values in the grid.This layer is an updated version using similar methodology to the one created on 2006 (same classes and thresholds) but it has been generated using up-to-date high resolution datasets (EU-DEM) in order to create a more accurate layer.

This version of the Elevation Breakdown was created as an update using the Digital Elevation Model over Europe from the GSGRDA project (EU-DEM, resolution 25 m). Areas next to the sea (<10 km from the coastline) were considered Coasts and splited in two categories: Low coasts (< 50 m) and High coasts (> 50 m). Inlands were the areas between 0 and 200 m outside the coastal strip. Uplands were the zones between 200 - 500 m plus the flat areas between 500 and 1000. The slopy areas between 500 and 1000 m and all the areas over 1000 m were classified as Mountains.
Input layers include:
- EUDEM resampled to 100m (derived from EU-DEM 25m)
- Coastline and reference mask, provided by GISAT.
Detailed methodology is available on http://forum.eionet.europa.eu/etc-sia-consortium/library/2012_subvention/261_2_ludc/133_elevation_data/elevation-breakdown-final-report-1 (section 2).
