Copernicus Land Data Viewer

Decision-makers, planners and scientists need authoritative, Europe-wide land information but often lack a single, easy way to visualise and download consistent satellite-derived products. The Copernicus Land Data Viewer addresses this by providing a web-based map viewer and data access portal that exposes standardised land products (land cover, vegetation indices, time series and thematic layers) derived from the Copernicus Sentinel constellation and other EO sources. The portal supports 2D and 3D visualisation, a searchable dataset catalogue, product documentation and download workflows, backed by helpdesk and how-to guidance.

Key capabilities:

• Satellite-derived products: Access to ready-made land datasets and thematic products derived from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-5P.
• Interactive visualisation: Web-based 2D map viewer with optional 3D mode for exploring terrain and layered datasets; tools include layer comparison (swipe), time sliders, opacity control and measurement widgets.
• Data discovery & downloads: Catalogue browsing with country/NUTS/AOI-based subsetting; downloads in GeoTIFF, NetCDF, GeoPackage, GeoJSON, Shapefile, GDB, FlatGeobuf and GML formats; M2M API available for bulk/full-dataset access.
• External service integration: Add external WMS layers directly in the viewer via the 'Add Map service' widget.
• Technical support & documentation: Detailed technical library, how-to guides and a service desk for users.
• Derived analytics: Pre-processed indicators (e.g., vegetation indices, land cover classifications, ground motion from InSAR) ready for downstream analysis in GIS tools such as QGIS.
