Color shaded DEM over Europe derived from the EU-DEM (resolution 25m) - version 1, Oct. 2013
This colour shaded relief image over Europe has been created using a hillshade dataset derived from the Digital Elevation Model over Europe from the GMES RDA project (EU-DEM) projected to ETRS-LAEA. This dataset cannot be used for analysis purposes and there are some known artefacts West of Norway.
The 1000x1000km tiles are provided as GeoTIFF with LZW compression.
The mosaic is provided as GeoTIFF with DEFLATE compression.
Ownership of EU-DEM belongs to European Commission, DG Enterprise and Industry.

The palette applied to the EU-DEM has been derived from the wiki-1.03 palette available at http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/wkp/template/tn/wiki-1.03.png.index.html
The resulting colour DEM image has then been merged with a hillshade dataset derived from the EU-DEM (using the GDAL hsv_merge.py command).
A land/sea mask has been applied to the resulting dataset.
