The ~90 m BA layer is derived by firstly generating the Building Fraction (BF) layer, which measures percentage building coverage per ~90 m cell in a range of 0–100. This is produced by quantifying the built-up coverage at 12 m spatial resolution, derived from the joint analysis of the WSF-IMP, TDX-amplitude images (TDX-AMP), and BE. The BF is subsequently multiplied by the area of each ~90 m grid cell (~8100 m2 at the equator), thereby producing the BA. This area is reported in square metres (m2) in the final product.
