ESA WorldCover 10 m 2021 v200

<p><strong>ESA WorldCover 10 m 2021&nbsp;v200</strong></p> <p>The European Space Agency (ESA) WorldCover 10 m 2021&nbsp;product provides a global land cover map for 2021&nbsp;at 10 m resolution based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data. The WorldCover product comes with 11 land cover classes,&nbsp;aligned with UN-FAO&#39;s Land Cover Classification System, and has been generated in the framework of the ESA WorldCover project.</p> <p>The ESA WorldCover 10m 2021 v200 product updates the existing <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5571936">ESA WorldCover 10m 2020&nbsp;v100</a> product to 2021 but&nbsp;is produced using an improved algorithm version (v200) compared to the 2020 map. Consequently, since the <strong>WorldCover maps for 2020 and 2021 were generated with different algorithm versions</strong> (v100 and v200, respectively), <strong>changes between the maps</strong> should be treated with caution, as they i<strong>nclude both real changes in land cover and changes due to the algorithms used.</strong></p> <p>The WorldCover 2021 v200 product is developed by a consortium lead by VITO Remote Sensing&nbsp;together with&nbsp;partners Brockmann Consult, Gamma Remote Sensing AG, IIASA and Wageningen University</p> <p><a href="https://viewer.esa-worldcover.org/worldcover/">Click here to view the maps</a></p> <p><a href="https://esa-worldcover.org">More information about the land cover maps</a></p> <p><a href="https://esa-worldcover.org/en/data-access">Product User Manual &amp; Product Validation Report</a></p>
