26 Digital Elevation Model Partially Accuracy is lower than target. Oct. 1, 2018, 12:37 p.m. Nov. 28, 2025, 3:33 p.m.
379 Digital Elevation Model Partially Partially compliant as the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global Digital Elevation Map (ASTER GDEM) coverage is between 83°N and 83°S and the vertical accuracy is at the limit required, that is, 20 meters at 95 % confidence. Oct. 9, 2019, 9:37 a.m. Dec. 1, 2021, 10:07 a.m.
403 Digital Elevation Model Fully Digital Elevation Model used for image production purposes. Dec. 27, 2019, 10:20 a.m. Dec. 2, 2025, 3:50 p.m.
213 Digital Elevation Model Partially Vertical accuracy is lower than target, therefore not fully compliant. Oct. 10, 2018, 10:45 a.m. Dec. 4, 2025, 5:11 p.m.
