Requirements

Requirement Level of compliace Note Information costs Handling costs Created on Last modified on
Digital Elevation Model Partially Accuracy is lower than target. Oct. 1, 2018, 12:32 p.m. June 23, 2022, noon
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. 1, 2018, 12:32 p.m. June 23, 2022, noon
Digital Elevation Model Fully Digital Elevation Model used for image production purposes. Oct. 1, 2018, 12:32 p.m. June 23, 2022, noon
Digital Elevation Model Partially Vertical accuracy is lower than target, therefore not fully compliant. Oct. 1, 2018, 12:32 p.m. June 23, 2022, noon
