Copernicus DEM (GLO-30)
GLO-30 is globally available and has a spatial resolution of 30 m. The data can be used without restriction - with a few exceptions due to legal requirements.
On CODE-DE there is an own collection available, GLO-30 - Limited, where exactly this data is excluded. Therefore data of this collection can be used without any restrictions for processing in the CODE-DE cloud as well as for downloading. Quicklooks are available globally for all GLO-30 data.
The product GLO-30 covers an area of 149 million km2 - and thus the entire land surface including Antarctica. CODE-DE GLO-30 is available both in DGED (Product Type: DGE_30) and DTED (Product Type: DTE_30) format.
