European Ground Motion Service: Calibrated 2018-2022 (vector), Europe, yearly, Oct. 2023

The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) is a component of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. EGMS provides consistent, regular, standardised, harmonised and reliable information regarding natural and anthropogenic ground motion phenomena over the Copernicus Participating States and across national borders, with millimetre accuracy. This set of metadata describes the second product level of EGMS: Calibrated.

This product is considered the main EGMS product as it serves the needs of most users. It contains the same type of information as the Basic product ( https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/1b2eb0d6-8c3a-4de2-b99d-10a30079f3cc), but the measurement points are referenced to a model derived from global navigation satellite system data. Thus, the measurements are not relative anymore and are considered as absolute. The calibrated product makes it possible to compare ground motion measurements from adjacent areas belonging to different products of the same level.

EGMS Calibrated is visualised as a vector map of measurement points, colour-coded by average velocity, and distributed to users in comma-separated values format. Each point is associated with a time series of displacement, i.e. a plot with values of displacement per acquisition of the satellite. The product is generated for both ascending and descending orbits.

Access constraints: Other restrictions

Other constraints: no limitations to public access

Use constraints: Other restrictions

Other constraints: The Copernicus programme is governed by Regulation (EU) No 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing the Union Space Programme and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and repealing Regulations (EU) No 912/2010, (EU) No 1285/2013 and (EU) No 377/2014 and Decision No 541/2014/EU. Within the Copernicus programme, a portfolio of land monitoring activities has been delegated by the European Union to the EEA. The land monitoring products and services are made available through the Copernicus land portal on a principle of full, open and free access, as established by the Copernicus data and information policy Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. The Copernicus data and information policy is in line with the EEA policy of open and easy access to the data, information and applications derived from the activities described in its management plan.

Free, full and open access to this data set is made on the conditions that:

1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus dedicated data and Copernicus service information to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of that data and information.

2. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the Union.

3. Where that data or information has been adapted or modified, the user shall clearly state this.

4. The data remain the sole property of the European Union. Any information and data produced in the framework of the action shall be the sole property of the European Union. Any communication and publication by the beneficiary shall acknowledge that the data were produced “with funding by the European Union”.

Explanation: See the referenced specification

Statement: The Calibrated product has been produced by calibrating the Basic product with a reference velocity model derived from global navigation satellite system data. The model is transformed to the reference frame of the interferometric data, projected to the radar line-of-sight, interpolated at each measurement point, and used to provide the information needed to harmonize all the different reference points that characterise the Basic product.
