European Digital Elevation Model (EU-DEM), version 1.1

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 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 1000 x 1000 km tiles, at 25m resolution with vertical accuracy: +/- 7 meters RMSE.

Data Quality

• Correction of geo-positioning issues in EU-DEM v1.0 as reference also using SPOT 2011 imagery
• Bias adjustment with ICESat points
• Screening and removal of artefacts in the EU-DEM v1.0, including the presence of blunders (i.e. negative or positive anomalies)
• Ensuring consistency with EU-Hydro to produce a better river network topology:
• Consistency of the coastline with the EU-HYDRO coastline, including the removal of DEM values outside the EU-HYDRO coastline
• Use of the EU-HYDRO coastline to smooth the gradient to the coast in flat regions
Burning of EU-HYDRO water bodies to set EU-DEM to the minimum height inside the water body, smoothing the boundaries

Constraints

Access to data is based on a principle of full, open and free access as established by the Copernicus data and information policy Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. This regulation establishes registration and licensing conditions for GMES/Copernicus users and can be found. Free, full and open access to this data set is made on the conditions that: 1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus dedicated data and Copernicus service information to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of that data and information. 2. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the Union. 3. Where that data or information has been adapted or modified, the user shall clearly state this. 4. The data remain the sole property of the European Union. Any information and data produced in the framework of the action shall be the sole property of the European Union. Any communication and publication by the beneficiary shall acknowledge that the data were produced “with funding by the European Union”.
