    For the first time we have a map that allows us to zoom down to cultivated parcels for the entire European Union (EU) territory. On these parcels, we can see what crops were grown in 2018. The EU crop map covers 91 million hectares of cropland and consists of more than 9 billion 10-m pixels! The map is based on Eurostat LUCAS in-situ data and Senti...

    The Copernicus S1 is a two-satellite (Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B) constellation carrying a C-SAR sensor which operates with its own source of microwave radiation. Since radar ‘looks’ through the clouds it operates in all weather conditions, and all of the S1 sensor’s data acquisitions can be used for crop-type mapping. Although dependent on year-t...

    The Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey (LUCAS) is an evenly spaced in-situ land cover and land use ground survey exercise that extends over the whole of the EU. LUCAS was carried out in 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2018. A new LUCAS module specifically tailored to Earth observation (EO) was introduced in 2018: the LUCAS Copernicus module. This module ...

    The Copernicus fleet of Sentinel satellites are transforming how policy impacts can be monitored from space. By providing synergistic and 10-m scale near-daily revisit data over Europe, the Sentinel-1 (used in this study) and the Sentinel-2 constellation (which carries optical sensors) have pushed land monitoring into the big data era. Arable land ...

    The EU crop map is a product of the current momentum towards combining Copernicus Sentinel fleet observations, extensive in-situ data and cloud computing. More scientific and methodological development is needed to transform this first demonstration into an operational in-season mapping service and to translate spatial information into sound enviro...
