The ECoLaSS project: “Evolution of Copernicus Land Services based on Sentinel data” is developing innovative methods and algorithms for next-generation prototypes of improved or novel operational Copernicus Land services from 2020 onwards. This paper introduces the ECoLaSS project and focusses on developments and first results particularly in view of a new pan-European agricultural service. Dense time series of optical (Sentinel-2) and SAR (Sentinel-1) data are analyzed by means of high-volume data processing chains. Prototype crop mask and crop type maps were successfully derived for a test site in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The agricultural prototype products are compared with the operational Copernicus High Resolution Layer (HRL) 2015 Grassland product. An outlook presents the next steps towards fit-for-purpose prototypes for pan-European roll-out.
