The Switzerland ( | The Switzerland Elevation Model (SwissALTI3D) is a digital terrain model (Digitales Geländemodell, DGM) produced by SwissTopo - the Swiss Bundesamt for Landestopografie. The dataset is an accurate digital terrain model developed as a part of a 6-year data-collection process - and being build from airborne laser-scans and stereo-imagery. Two Swiss elevation models are delivered with windPRO: one at 5m resolution and one at 20m resolution. The original models are available at maximum resolution of 0.5m 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 2021. | ||

Vertical accuracy within the native 2m resolution dataset is stated to be ±0.3m to ±0.5m for elevations below 2000m agl. The acurracy of the derived 5m and 20m models delivered with windPRO were evaluated on the 58 wind turbine locations in Switzerland. For the evaluation of accuracy, we are taking the 2m model as reference data (ground truth) and then evaluate accuracy at the turbine positions. For the 5m model, the deviation from the 2m model was an average of -0.02m and the standard deviation was 0.15m. A comparison with other popular DTM/DSM's and the 20m dataset are shown in the table below. | |||

Introduction
The Switzerland Elevation Model (SwissALTI3D) is a digital terrain model (Digitales Geländemodell, DGM) produced by SwissTopo - the Swiss Bundesamt for Landestopografie. The dataset is an accurate digital terrain model developed as a part of a 6-year data-collection process - and being build from airborne laser-scans and stereo-imagery. Two Swiss elevation models are delivered with windPRO: one at 5m resolution and one at 20m resolution. The original models are available at maximum resolution of 0.5m 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 2021.

More on Model Acurracy
Vertical accuracy within the native 2m resolution dataset is stated to be ±0.3m to ±0.5m for elevations below 2000m agl. The acurracy of the derived 5m and 20m models delivered with windPRO were evaluated on the 58 wind turbine locations in Switzerland. For the evaluation of accuracy, we are taking the 2m model as reference data (ground truth) and then evaluate accuracy at the turbine positions. For the 5m model, the deviation from the 2m model was an average of -0.02m and the standard deviation was 0.15m. A comparison with other popular DTM/DSM's and the 20m dataset are shown in the table below.
