Notes

  • DEM: Copernicus DEM GLO-30 (open data; cached). Copernicus DEM GLO-30: produced using Copernicus WorldDEM-30 (c) DLR e.V. 2010-2014 and (c) Airbus Defence and Space GmbH 2014-2018 provided under COPERNICUS by the European Union and ESA
  • the grid (30 m) is finer than the DEM (30.9 m): values between DEM samples are interpolated
  • terrain only: vegetation, buildings and roads are not modeled
