Belgium-Flemish Elevation Models

Introduction

The Belgium/Flanders 5m and 25m elevation models (Digitaal Hoogtemodel Vlaanderen II) are digital terrain models (DTM) produced by the Agency of Geographical Information Flanders (Agentschap voor Geografische Informatie Vlaanderen). The elevation data with windPRO is in either 5m x 5m grid or a 25m x 25m grid - and have a spatial coverage for the whole of the Flanders region. The DTM models were produced by LIDAR surveys in years 2013-2015 with 16 scanning points per square meter.

Dataset Overview

• Spatial Coverage: Belgium - Flanders/Flemish Region
• Resolution: 5m and 25m in windPRO
• Data-type: Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
• Coordinate system (horizontal): Belgian Lambert 1972 (EPSG 31370) in source data
• Coordinate system (vertical): Second General Levelling (TAW, EPSG: 5710)
• Version: Data status as of february 2019
• Horizontal Accuracy: 0.10m (in original 1m data)
• Vertical Accuracy: 0.05m (in original 1m data)

Availability from within WindPRO

The data are available directly from within windPRO in 5m and 25-meter resolution. The data can be accessed from the online-services in the following objects:

• Line Object (with purpose to height contour lines)
• Elevation Grid Object

Usage Notes

Please consider the following, when using the data as contour-lines in windPRO:

• You may need to digitize the coastline (0m - contour) - as the grid-cells in the sea/ocean may be attributed with a 'no-data' value
