THE USE OF SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING FOR LAND COVER MAPPING IN EUROPE la Jacques Mégier (Space Applications Institute, Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy) and le Peter Winkler (FÓMI Remote Sensing Centre, Budapest, Hungary) SC Wi ar KEY WORDS: Earth observation, CORINE Land Cover, High resolution, Low resolution mapping in Ni ABSTRACT: cl The use of Earth observation satellites for producing a large scale general land cover map in Europe is described. An ë overview of the recent stage of the CORINE Land Cover programme, some examples of its application and a short Se description of the experimental, extended refined version for national and regional level information is given. High resolution te mapping by making maximum use of automatic procedures and low resolution mapping on the base of AVHRR data at th continental level are shortly presented. lo pr in ai 1.
