Hillshade derived from the Digital Elevation Model over Europe from the GSGRDA project (EU-DEM-PRE Hillshade, resolution 25 m)

The EU-DEM is a Digital Surface Model (DSM) representing the first surface as illuminated by the sensors. EU-DEM covers the EEA39 countries and it has been produced by a consortium led by Indra, Intermap edited the EUDEM and AGI provided the water mask. The EU-DEM is a 3D raster dataset with elevations captured at 1 arc second postings (2.78E-4 degrees) or about every 30 meter. It is a hybrid product based on SRTM and ASTER GDEM data fused by a weighted averaging approach. Ownership of EU-DEM belongs to European Commision, DG Enterprise and Industry.



The projection onto an Inspire compliant grid of 25m resolution and the computation of a Hillshade raster derived from a slope and aspect datasets have been performed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
