Annual land cover maps of Germany based on Sentinel-2 MSI Level 3A (WASP) data

<p>Overview:<br> This annual land cover product is available for the years 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021 for the whole of Germany. It was generated based on Sentinel-2 MSI L3A WASP Data provided by DLR (https://geoservice.dlr.de/data-assets/4hcq6dgkj648.html). For a complete description of the classification procedure please refer to<br> Riembauer, G.; Weinmann, A.; Xu, S.; Eichfuss, S.; Eberz, C.; Neteler, M.: Germany-wide Sentinel-2 based land cover classification and change detection for settlement and infrastructure monitoring.
