Inland coastal zones for accounting derived from Corine Land Cover class 523 (raster 100m), Apr. 2020

This dataset is the coastal zone land surface region from Europe, derived from the coastline towards inland, as a series of 10 consecutive buffers of 1km width each. The coastline is defined by the extent of the Corine Land Cover 2018 (raster 100m) version 20 accounting layer. In this version all Corine Land Cover pixels with a value of 523, corresponding to sea and oceans, were considered as non-land surface and thus were excluded from the buffer zone.

Explanation: See the referenced specification

Statement: Main steps to generate the coastal zones buffer.

1) To reclassify the CLC raster for creating a land mask and a sea mask. In this version the sea mask is equal to the coverage of the CLC classes 523 (sea and ocean), while the land mask is obtained by the coverage of the remaining CLC classes.

2) To generate around the sea mask, a consecutive 10 buffer zones of 1 km width each.

3) To select from the obtained buffer zones only the pixels covered by the CLC land area mask, and

4) To remove those pixels of the buffer area out of the CLC land coverage.
