Physical Properties – Land Cover

The high-resolution land cover map in SCALGO Live is produced by SCALGO using machine learning techniques, orthophotos and other input data. It is available as a standalone layer in the Land Cover category in the library, and is used by various parts of the SCALGO Live system, such as the topsoil map, the Flash Flood Map with infiltration and drainage and in Core+ DynamicFlood. We refer to the documentation of those analyses for more information about how the land cover map and associated properties are used. In the section Mapping below we describe how the land cover map is produced, and in the section Properties we describe the surface roughness properties associated with each class in the land cover map. 

Note, the land cover map is not available for all countries, please consult the country specific documentation for more information.
