Context
As we explained in this article, the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) is progressively migrating its data to the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE).
From 30 June 2026, some HRL datasets previously provided through their legacy source will be available from the CDSE only.
If you access any of the following datasets from WEkEO, you may need to update your queries depending on the product type, resolution and year:
EO:EEA:DAT:HRL:CRL- High Resolution Layer Croplands productsEO:EEA:DAT:HRL:GRA- High Resolution Layer Grasslands productsEO:EEA:DAT:HRL:TCF- High Resolution Layer Tree Cover and Forests products
What you need to do
For specific combinations of dataset_id, productType, resolution and year, you must now:
update the value of
dataset_idto reflect the transition to the new collection on CDSE:EO:JRC:DAT:CLMSdiscard the
productTypeandresolutionfields which are not used anymoreadd the
datasetIdentifiercorresponding to your dataset of interest.
Please refer to the table below to identify whichdatasetIdentifieris relevant for your query. Combinations for which nodatasetIdentifieris provided will continue to remain available with the existing queries for the time being. These combinations correspond to 2012 and 2015 for the datasets delivered for a specific year, and to the periods 2012-2015 and 2015-2018 for the datasets describing changes over a specific time interval.specify the time interval using appropriate
startdateandenddatevalues:For datasets delivered on a yearly basis, if you are interested in the year YYYY, your time interval must include January 1, YYYY
For changed datasets, if you are interested in the period YYYY-ZZZZ, the time interval must also include January 1, YYYY
📌 Note: these changes will remain valid for a limited period of time as we are working on the implementation of a more user-friendly approach based on the definition of « virtual » dataset layers.
⚠️ If your combination is not listed, no change is required for now.
