Estonian Elevation Models

Coverage of Estonian DTM

Introduction

The Estonian elevation models in 5m and 25m grid resolutions are digital terrain models produced by the Republic of Estonia Land Board. Spatial coverage is for the whole of Estonia. The model is created from LIDAR surveys – where 1/4 of Estonian territory is laser-scanned every year. The data available in windPRO was procured during early 2019.

Availability from within windPRO

The data are available directly from within windPRO in 5 or 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

Reference Systems

The following reference systems were used in the source data:

• Estonian Coordinate System of 1997 (EPSG: 3301)
• Vertical: Vertical datum used is EH2000 height system (EVRS - European Vertical Reference System) - based on NAP (Normaal Amsterdam Peil).
