Introduction
Land-Form PANORAMA is a digital elevation dataset for Great Britain: Two versions of the dataset exist: one vector-dataset that provides height contours with a 10 m vertical spacing and one gridded dataset with a grid-spacing of 50m. The resolution of the dataset corresponds to a 1:50000 mapping. Please note that the dataset is unmaintained.
Dataset Overview
- Spatial Coverage: The whole of Great Britain (but not including Northern Ireland).
- Resolutions:
- Gridded-version: 50m grid spacing
- Contour-version; 10m contour spacing.
- Data-type: Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
- Coordinate system:
- Horizontal: British National Grid (EPSG: 27700) in original data
- Vertical: Normally related to mean sea level at Newlyn
- Version: N/A
- Vertical Accuracy:
- Contours: Accuracy is typically better than 3 m (root mean square error (RMSE))
Availability in WindPRO
The data is available from the WindPRO online services. The data can be accessed from the online-services in the following objects:
- Line Object (with purpose to height contour lines)
- Elevation Grid Object
