The elevation model of the German Bundesland of Saxony (Sachsen) is a digital terrain model produced from data originally obtained from the open geodata of Sazony. It is produced and delivered by the Staatsbetrieb Geobasisinformation und Vermessung Sachsen (GeoSN). Two elevation models are delivered with windPRO: one at 5m resolution and one at 20m resolution. The original models are available at a maximum resolution of 1m and 2m (Digitales Geländemodell 1m oder 2m / Digital Elevation Model 1m or 2m). However, the higher resolution model in windPRO version is resampled by EMD to obtain a slightly coarser resolution - 5m - in order for the data to be operational for the larger areas needed in the context of wind farm analysis’. This resampling is made based on 2m data. The laser-scans in the DGM1 model were obtained with a sampling rate of 1-4 points per square meter. A continuous LIDAR measurement campaign is being made, with the whole of the state being completed at a 6-year cycle. The data made available by EMD represents the data status of January 2019.

Introduction

The elevation model of the German Bundesland of Saxony (Sachsen) is a digital terrain model produced from data originally obtained from the open geodata of Saxony. It is produced and delivered by the Staatsbetrieb Geobasisinformation und Vermessung Sachsen (GeoSN). Two elevation models are delivered with windPRO: one at 5m resolution and one at 20m resolution. The original models are available at a maximum resolution of 1m and 2m, however, the highest resolution model in windPRO version is resampled by EMD to obtain a slightly coarser resolution - 5m. This is done in order for the data to be operational for the larger domains needed in the context of wind farm analysis’ and wind flow modelling. The resampling is made based on 2m data using a bi-linear interpolation algorithm. Data made available by EMD represents the data status of October 2019.
