Copernicus DEM GLO-30

Coming later The Copernicus DEM GLO-30, a global digital surface model at about 30 m made from the TanDEM-X radar mission. It is static: one height layer, with no new acquisitions.

Schema v1 defines this collection, but lean v1 does not serve it yet. Requests for it answer 404 unknown-collection. GET /v1/collections will list it once it is live.

Build plan Phase P1

Layers: DEM.

  • Heights are orthometric, in metres. Schema v1 plans an egm switch for ellipsoidal heights.
  • Ocean tiles are absent from the source and read as 0 m.
  • The hillshade and elevation presets are planned for it.
  • The terms of service will carry the Copernicus DEM no-liability notice.
  • The time span is what schema v1 expects. The live collection document will publish the extent measured from the index.
  • Phases refer to the build plan; see the Data overview.
