Copernicus DEM GLO-30

Copernicus Digital Elevation Model. 30 m global digital surface model from TanDEM-X.

A digital surface model edited from the WorldDEM, itself built from TanDEM-X radar interferometry. It is a surface model, so forest canopy and buildings are included in the heights; see FABDEM for a bare-earth version. GLO-30 tiles over Armenia and Azerbaijan are not in the public release.
