The dataset is available to download in Geotiff format at a resolution of 3 arc (approximately 100m at the equator). The projection is Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84.
The values of the raster are the distances (in kilometres) from the cell centres to the nearest feature

Filenames:

arm_esaccilc_dst150_100m_2002	Distance to ESA-CCI-LC sparse vegetation area edges 2002
arm_esaccilc_dst160_100m_2002	Distance to ESA-CCI-LC aquatic vegetation area edges 2002
arm_esaccilc_dst190_100m_2002	Distance to ESA-CCI-LC artificial surface edges 2002
arm_esaccilc_dst200_100m_2002	Distance to ESA-CCI-LC bare area edges 2002

Methodology: The geodesic distances have been calculated using the haversine formula and global input datasets to avoid edge effects at the country boundaries.
