  • 141 - Green urban areas;
  • 142 - Sport and leisure facilities;
  • 211 - Non-irrigated arable land;
  • 212 - Permanently irrigated arable land;
  • 213 - Rice fields;
  • 221 - Vineyards;
  • 222 - Fruit trees and berry plantations;
  • 223 - Olive groves;
  • 231 - Pastures;
  • 241 - Annual crops associated with permanent crops;

  • 511 - Water courses;
  • 512 - Water bodies;
  • 521 - Coastal lagoons;
  • 522 - Estuaries.

Files are named according to the following naming convention, e.g:

  • lcv_landcover.111_lucas.corine.eml_p_30m_0..0cm_2020_eumap_epsg3035_v0.2.tif

with the following fields:

  • theme: e.g. lcv,
  • land use / land cover class: e.g. landcover.111,
  • estimation method: e.g. lucas.corine.eml,
  • variable type: e.g. p ( = class probability),
  • resolution in meters e.g. 30m,
  • reference depths (vertical dimension): e.g. 0..0cm,
  • reference period: e.g. 2020,
  • reference area: e.g. eumap,
  • coordinate system: e.g. epsg3035,
  • data set version: e.g. v0.2.

This naming convention makes it easy to identify the file names of probability and uncertainty maps for each land use / land cover class:

  • lcv_landcover.111_lucas.corine.eml_p: Probability of class 111: Continuous Urban Fabric 
  • lcv_landcover.311_lucas.corine.eml_md: Model Disagreement of class 311: Broad-leaved forest
