Data details

Name Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) World 3D - AW3D
Note This elevation dataset, ‘Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) World 3D - AW3D’ was generated using the global data archives from 2006 to 2011 recorded by the ALOS on board sensor Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM). The data is Digital Surface Model (DSM) processed in 5m grid spacing utilizing the original triplet stereo images in 2.5m resolution. Resolution: 5m. Vertical Accuracy: 5m root mean square error (RMSE) - 7m 90% linear error (LE90)
