Data details

Name EU-DEM
Note The EU-DEM v1.1 is a resulting dataset of the EU-DEM v1.0 upgrade which enhances the correction of geo-positioning issues, reducing the number of artefacts, improving the vertical accuracy of EU-DEM using Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) as reference and ensuring consistency with EU-Hydro public beta. EU-DEM v1.1 is available in Geotiff 32 bits format. It is a contiguous dataset divided into 100x100 km tiles, resulting in a total of 1992 tiles of 4000x4000 pixel at 25m resolution with vertical accuracy: +/- 7 meters root mean square error (RMSE). The tiles have been grouped in big regions: - EUDEM2_ASIA (Turkey) - EUDEM2_ATLAN (Hondo and French_Islands) - EUDEM2_BRITAIN (Thames, Shannon and Tweed) - EUDEM2_EUROPE_1 (Duero, Ebro, Tajo, Guadalquivir and Jucar) - EUDEM2_EUROPE_2 (Tirso, Mesima, Tevere and Po) - EUDEM2_EUROPE_3 (Garonne, Rhone, Loire, Seine and western Rhine) - EUDEM2_EUROPE_4 (Danube) - EUDEM2_EUROPE_5 (Skjern, Nemunas, Vistula, Oder, Elbe and Eastern Rhine) - EUDEM2_EUROPE_6 (Bulgaria and Pinios) - EUDEM2_ICELAND (Iceland) - EUDEM2_SCAND (Vorma, Gota, Angerman, Tana, Kemi and Neva) - EUDEM2_SOUTH_AMERICA (French_Guiana) EU-DEM v1.1 upgrade was coordinated by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.

Digital Elevation Model Fully This Digital Elevation Model (DEM) covers the 33 EEA members and 6 cooperating countries. In addition, there is coverage above 60°: other data sources besides the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) DEMs where used. Therefore, this DEM is fully compliant. March 27, 2018, 1:09 p.m. July 16, 2024, 10:50 a.m.
