Presentation by Mariusz Legowski of JRC-IES on the status and application potential of the Global Monitoring of the Environment and Security system of the EU.

1. GMES – current status and potential link to agriculture Mariusz Legowski European Commission DG JRC

The 5 HR Layers under development Legend Degree of Imperviousness (in %) Vegetation Intensity Indicator Water Wetlands Other (e.g. Agriculture) Forest Crown Cover Density (in %) Forest Crown Cover Density / Forest Types Sealed Area / Imperviousness Vegetation Intensity / Grassland Indicator Water Wetlands Combination of selected HR layers by a GIS model approach (Example from Alpine test site)

36. Global land component • Global Terrestrial Variables and integration into land assimilation models for Carbon fluxes and water monitoring • Building on Geoland FP 7 BIOPAR products • Selection of variables according to maturity, existing activities and user needs (ESA CCI, GCOS/GTOS..) • Set up a dynamic vegetation monitoring (intra inter-seasonal) based on MR datasets • Additional Glob-Land elements to be considered later
