GlobDEM50: Digital
Elevation Model on cartesian 50m Meshes
GlobDEM50 -
high resolution digital elevation data (DEM), accessible within an easy-to-use
web application.
Advantages of GlobDEM50 at a glance:
- all elevation data given in three reference
systems:
- geographic mesh at 3 resolution
- cartesian UTM mesh at 50m resolution
- cartesian national system at 50m resolution
(e.g.. Gauß-Krueger for Germany, British National Grid for UK,
etc.)
- real area-weighted heights
- regional / national editions on DVD
- all data in ASCII Arc Grid Format
- easy navigation and download from DVD by use
of hot spots in elevation contour plots
GlobDEM50 data are supllied in regional
editions on DVD. The
first editions are available since September 2004: Germany,
Austria/Switzerland, Poland, and Czechia/Slovakia. Additional regional editions
are in preparation and will be continued. You can find an updated list of
available regions here:

GlobDEM50 is based on raw data from
the Shuttle Radar Topography M ission, a joined
project of NASA, NIMA, DLR und ASI in the year 2000. SRTM data have been
post-processed by us:
- filling of data voids by
several processes
- area-weighted interpolation from geographi
mesh (LonLat auf WGS84) to international cartesian mesh (UTM / WGS84) and
national cartesian systems (different co-ordinate systems / reference
systems)
- format conversion to ASCII Arc Grid
