Austrian Digital Terrain Elevation Model at 1-Meter Resolution

The ALS DTM height grid is a product of Austrian federal and state spatial data providers. It describes the earth's natural surface without vegetation using a regular 1-meter grid, created via airborne laser scanning. This is one of 55 tiles that together cover the entire territory of Austria.

Use Cases

• Model water runoff and flood risk based on the described earth's surface elevation.
• Plan infrastructure projects using the detailed digital terrain elevation model.
• Conduct environmental impact assessments based on the natural soil surface data.
• Perform line-of-sight analysis for telecommunications using the 1-meter resolution height grid.

Strengths

• Data is provided at a 1-meter spatial resolution.
• The dataset is part of a larger collection of 55 tiles covering all of Austria.
• Data was captured using airborne laser scanning technologies.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
