As DTM CRS3035RES50000mN2700000E4750000: Austrian Terrain Elevation Grid

55 tiles of a 1-meter resolution digital terrain elevation model (DGM) cover the territory of Austria. The data describes the earth's natural surface without vegetation, georeferenced in European coordinate systems and captured via airborne laser scanning. It is a cooperation product of Austrian federal and state spatial data providers.

Use Cases

• Modeling hydrological flow based on the 1-meter resolution terrain surface.
• Planning infrastructure projects using the bare-earth elevation data.
• Conducting environmental impact assessments based on high-resolution terrain models.
• Creating 3D visualizations of the Austrian landscape based on the point-cloud-derived grid.

Strengths

• 1-meter spatial resolution provides detailed terrain information.
• Covers the entire territory of Austria across 55 tiles.
• Represents the bare-earth surface, excluding vegetation, as a digital terrain model.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
