European Ground Motion Service (EGMS)

The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) provides consistent and reliable information regarding natural and anthropogenic ground motion over the Copernicus participating states and across national borders, with millimeter accuracy.

The EGMS distributes three levels of products updated annually: basic, calibrated and ortho.



The EGMS distributes three product levels updated annually:



Basic. Line of sight velocity maps in ascending and descending orbits with annotated geolocalisation and quality measures per measurement point. Velocities in the basic products are referred to a local reference point.



Calibrated. Line of sight velocity maps in ascending and descending orbits referenced to a model derived from global navigation satellite systems data. Calibrated velocities are absolute, being no longer relative to a local reference point.



Ortho. Components of motion (horizontal and vertical) anchored to the reference model used above. Ortho products are resampled to a 100 m grid.



The EGMS is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service.
