Copernicus DEM (GLO-90)
GLO-90 is globally available and has a spatial resolution of 90 m. Users can use these datasets in the processing environment for data processing and visualization or to create derived higher level products. CODE-DE users can also download these datasets.
The product GLO-90 covers an area of 149 million km2 - and thus the entire land surface including Antarctica. GLO-90on CODE-DE is available both in DGED (Product Type: DGE_90) and DTED (Product Type: DTE_90) format.
