Ensemble Digital Terrain Model (EDTM) of the world

Caution: this version has been removed due to the license issue of FABDEM. Please do not use. You can access EDTM v1.1 or GEDTM from:

Layers include: Ensemble Digital Terrain Model (EDTM) in 250-m resolution. Unit is in metre(m) and precision is in decimetre (dm). Maps are downscaled from 30-m resolution to 250-m in order to fit the size limit. We provide 30-m EDTM and its standard deviation as links:

Derived using ALOS AW3D, GLO-30, MERITDEM, and national DTMs. We derived a  lower 10% quantile from all maps. In order to create bare earth data, we used canopy height (canopy height > 2m) and standard deviation (sd > 6m) to mask building and forest in AW3D and GLO-30. Practical processing is written here in Python.
