Welcome to the EOC Geoservice

The SoilSuite contains a collection of maps that provide information about the spectral properties of the European soils and its temporal variability as well as the duration of soil cover and intensity of use [1]. The data can also be further used in soil parameter mapping approaches to derive soil organic carbon [2] and other soil properties. The SoilSuite is created using DLR's Soil Composite Mapping Processor (SCMaP) [3] utilizing the HPC terrabyte platform [4] at DLR. All products are calculated based on the available Sentinel-2 scenes recorded between January 2018 and December 2022 in Europe and the pixel resolution is 20 m. The processing excludes all scenes with a cloud cover of > 80 % and a sun elevation of < 20 degrees. The SoilSuite datasets can be explored via the EOC Geoservice Webapp [5], the EOC Geoservice STAC endpoint [6] and can be downloaded directly from the EOC Download Service [7].
