EuroDEM

EuroDEM (digital elevation model) describes the distribution of terrain or 'bare earth' heights, not including 'first surface' elevations such as vegetation and man-made structures. It is ideal for environmental change research, hydrologic modelling, resource monitoring, monitoring mapping and visualisation.

Data structure and content Tile partition, which is delimited by degree graduation of longitude and latitude. The tiles have a spatial extent of 1 x 1 degree (3600 x 3600 arc seconds).
The only saved value is the elevation per coordinate.
Quality and standards 8 – 10m vertical accuracy, 2 arc seconds grid width

Applications

Geospatial elevation data is used by the scientific and resource management communities, amongst others, for applications such as environmental change research, hydrologic modelling, resource monitoring, mapping and visualisation. EuroDEM can be used directly in numerous GIS applications, some examples of which include:

  • Ortho-rectification of imagery
  • Flood modelling / watershed analysis
  • Modelling water flow or mass movement
  • Extracting terrain parameters
  • Rendering of three-dimensional visualisations
  • Topographic mapping / physical models / creation of relief maps
  • Vehicle navigation / intelligent vehicle systems
  • Precision farming / forestry
  • Flight simulation / in-cockpit situational awareness
  • Terrain analyses in geomorphology and physical geography
  • Impact studies and geological structure studies
  • Design and engineering of mobile telephone networks
  • Planning road and railway networks
