Introduction
The Estonian Land Board is maintaining maps of canopy heights with Estonian National coverage. The maps are developed using LiDAR scans of Estonia – where 1/4 of the country is being scanned each year. The map of forest heights in windPRO is – as such – based on measurements from multiple years 2012-2015. The Estonian forest heights in windPRO comes with a 10m grid resolution.
Data Applicability and Availability within windPRO
The forest height data are used as input for the dedicated sub-models in windPRO which takes into account the forest impact on the wind flow. This is the displacement height calculator and the Objective Roughness Approach (ORA) tool. Both forest models are available from windPRO 3.2+.
The forest data is accessed from the online-services from the ‘elevation grid object’ with data-type set to ‘Heights above terrain (a.g.l) for elements’.
Technical Details (EMD processed data)
Dataformat: GeoTiff
Coordinate System: Estonian Coordinate System of 1997 (EPSG: 3301)
Pixel values:
- Canopy height 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 (m)
- 32767 is a null value: the pixel does not belong to forestry land or canopy height is outside boundaries set (0.5m to 50m)
- For the data distributed in windPRO, the null values and missing data are neglected.
Spatial Resolution: 10m
