The digital height models in WindPRO are based on open internet resources. Still, the best globally available DHM source is the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data, but it seems that now more countries (beyond the US) releases national data under free-data licenses. Typically these has a much better resolution than SRTM.
Considerations
When using the remote sensing digital height models, you must manually consider the accuracy of the dataset used. This is especially important in the vicinity of the wind farm and the meteorological masts erected. Typically – when applying remote sensing DHMs - the height contour lines must be validated against local topographical map.
