Rhineland-Palatinate Elevation Model

Rhineland-Palatinate Elevation Model (DGM) - at work in windPRO.
With 324 wind turbines from the MAsTR database.

Introduction

The digital elevation model for the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz) is derived from open geodata specific to this region. The original model in 25m grid-resolution is provided by the Landesamt für Vermessung und Geobasisinformation. In windPRO we currently have the version from year 2017 in 25m grid resolution.
