Terrain Model Download, grid 1+

About this product

Terrain Model, grid 1+ is a grid in raster format with two meter resolution created through interpolation from the National Elevation model.

Examples of applications

• generation of height contours and for development of digital terrain models that depict the landscape in three dimensions
• calculations and analyses for creation of altitude- and terrain shading in maps
• gravity determinations
• geometric correction of satellite images
• climate adaptation measures, such as flood mapping
• planning and building permits near water
• planning for climate and environmental change
• optimal location of wind turbines, transmitter masts for mobile telephony
• base material for orienteering maps

Maintenance and update frequency

The product is continuously updated in conjunction with update of the National Elevation model. More information can be found on Plans and outcomes.

Plans and outcomes

The product is based on the National Elevation model. The elevation model is continuously updated using point clouds from aerial laser scanning and aerial image matching.

The production plans below are the underlying plans for the updating. The plans can be changed based on weather and other conditions.

• Laser scanning
• Aerial photography

Production status

Production status is updated every day and display information regarding date for data capture and survey technique (laser scanning or image matching) for the National Elevation model.

• Production status (webmap, new window)
