Italian Elevation Model - TINITALY

The DTM model for Italy – 10 m grid and 25 m contour lines - seen with the XX wind turbines at xx wind farm. The model shown covers an area of 10km x 10km.

Introduction

The Italian Elevation Model - TINITALY - is a seamless digital elevation model that covers the territory of Italy. It is procuced by Tarquini et al and was first presented in 2007. The model is built from separate DEMS from each of the administrative regions of Italy. Grid resolution is 10m - with data sources from. This model is released from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology / Istitutoi Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV).
