Copernicus EEA39 Boundary Layer with 250 m buffer (raster 100m), version 3, Jan. 2019

For the provision of land monitoring services within the Copernicus programme, a consistent, stable, sufficiently detailed boundary layer is required at EEA, which provides a “land mask” for the area that needs to be monitored.

This metadata refers to the Copernicus boundary layer covering EEA38 and the United Kingdom (former EEA39) in raster format (TIFF) at 100m resolution, including the French DOM (French Guiana GF, Guadeloupe GP, Martinique MQ, Mayotte YT and Reunion RE).

The dataset is based on a rasterisation of the Boundary Layer vector product, a generalisation of the Border Expert product to a scale of about 1 : 1 000 000 (a buffer of 250m is applied). This Border Expert product is based on EU-Hydro Coastline Version 3 from EEA, the EEA coastline for analysis Version 2, the EBM GISCO Hybrid Layer from EEA, the EuroGeographics EuroBoundary Map Version 12, the “Water and Wetness High Resolution Layer 2015” from EEA and the JRC-Global Surface Water Occurrence layer.

The production of this Border Product was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.
