WorldDEM Full Resolution
Provides a worldwide, consistent, and high precision Digital Surface Model (DSM) at 12 m resolution in GeoTIFF format.
Description
A data block that provides access to a Digital Surface Model derived from the TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites. The data acquisition started in January 2011 and was completed by mid-2015.

Dataset description
WorldDEM is a Digital Surface Model that represents the surface of Earth including buildings, infrastructure and vegetation. This dataset includes hydrological corrections, i.e. flattened water bodies and consistent flow of rivers, as well as shore- and coastline editing. For more information, please refer to the WorldDEM Technical Product Specification.
Geographic coverage
The geographic coverage is global.
