Copernicus Digital Elevation Model (DEM) as Open Data on Amazon AWS and Sentinel-Hub

Published: Aug 12, 2021 by ISG Board

European Space Agency (ESA) has recently made available two global Digital Surface Models:

GLO-30: the 30-m spatial resolution DSM,
GLO-90: the 90-m spatial resolution DSM,

Both are available for download from cdsdata.copernicus.eu on a free basis for the general public under the terms and conditions of the Licence found here.

A copy of the GLO-30 and GLO-90 is now also available as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs from the Amazon AWS public data repository. The visualization shown above is from the sentinel-hub.com.

To learn more about the GLO-30 and it’s accuracy and production, refer to this article.
