Copernicus Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

Copernicus Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

This product is part of the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative and contains data sets that are publicly available for anyone to access and use. No subscription is required. Unless specifically stated in the applicable data set documentation, data sets available through the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative are not provided and maintained by AWS.

Description

The Copernicus DEM is a Digital Surface Model (DSM) which represents the surface of the Earth including buildings, infrastructure and vegetation. We provide two instances of Copernicus DEM named GLO-30 Public and GLO-90. GLO-90 provides worldwide coverage at 90 meters. GLO-30 Public provides limited worldwide coverage at 30 meters because a small subset of tiles covering specific countries are not yet released to the public by the Copernicus Programme. Note that in both cases ocean areas do not have tiles, there one can assume height values equal to zero. Data is provided as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs and comes from Copernicus DEM 2021 release.

License

GLO-30 Public and GLO-90 are available on a free basis for the general public under the terms and conditions of the Licence found on here .

How to cite

Copernicus Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was accessed on DATE from https://registry.opendata.aws/copernicus-dem .

Update frequency
