Global Terrain Data – FABDEM |
| Note |
FABDEM (Forest And Buildings removed Copernicus DEM) is the first global digital elevation model (DEM) with forests and buildings removed at a 30-meter resolution. The data uses a correction algorithm to remove biases within the Copernicus GLO 30 Digital Surface Model (DSM) arising from the presence of objects on the earth’s surface. This has resulted in an improved dataset where users can model natural hazards globally. The data is available at 1 arc-second grid spacing (approximately 30m at the equator) across the globe. This data is useful to understand flood risk on a global scale or in data-scarce regions of the world. The finer spatial resolution allows smaller topographic features to be represented, such as narrow flow paths which enable users to better represent flow dynamics within narrow valleys. |
