2.8.2 High Resolution (<0.5 km) Raster Data and Vector Data
2.8.2.1 Corine Land Cover
Format: Available in raster data (100 m) and vector data
Temporal coverage: 2006
Spatial coverage in UHI atlas: Central Europe
Short description of Corine Land Cover
CORINE (Coordination of information on the environment) provides land use data
layers. Two kinds of satellite imagery were used for the CORINE project:
– French SPOT-4 & 5 (60 km swath width, 20 m pixels; VIS, NIR and SWIR
bands), and
– Indian IRS P6 (141 km swath width, 23 m pixels; VIS, NIR and SWIR bands).
Where to find the data layers: http://www.eea.europa.eu
2.8.2.2 Land Cover/Land Use for Cities Included in Project (Urban Atlas)
Format: vector data (1 : 10.000)
Temporal coverage: 2005–2007
Spatial coverage in UHI atlas: Budapest, Vienna, Ljubljana, Prague, Stuttgart,
Venice, Warszawa
Short description of Urban Atlas
The European Urban Atlas provides reliable, inter-comparable, high-resolution land
use maps for 305 Large Urban Zones and their surroundings (more than 100.000
inhabitants as defined by the Urban Audit) for the reference year 2006.
Where to find the data layers: http://www.eea.europa.eu
Format: raster data (120 m, resampled to 60 m)
Temporal coverage: different examples for spring, summer and autumn seasons
Spatial coverage: Budapest, Vienna, Ljubljana, Prague, Stuttgart, Venice, Warszawa
Short description of Landsat images
Landsat images of reflectance can show us differences among different areas (urban
areas, green areas etc.). With some methods and field work measurements it is possible to define land surface temperature and air.

2.8.2.3 Digital Elevation Data SRTM
Format: raster data (3 arc sec)
Temporal coverage: 2008
